[PATCH v2 3/6] x86/rust: support MITIGATION_RETHUNK

From: Miguel Ojeda
Date: Wed Jul 24 2024 - 12:16:15 EST


The Rust compiler added support for `-Zfunction-return=thunk-extern` [1]
in 1.76.0 [2], i.e. the equivalent of `-mfunction-return=thunk-extern`.
Thus add support for `MITIGATION_RETHUNK`.

Without this, `objtool` would warn if enabled for Rust and already warns
under IBT builds, e.g.:

samples/rust/rust_print.o: warning: objtool:
_R...init+0xa5c: 'naked' return found in RETHUNK build
