[PATCH v2 1/2] x86/bugs: Don't fill RSB on VMEXIT with eIBRS+retpoline

[Josh Poimboeuf]

eIBRS protects against RSB underflow/poisoning attacks.  Adding
retpoline to the mix doesn't change that.  Retpoline has a balanced
CALL/RET anyway.

So the current full RSB filling on VMEXIT with eIBRS+retpoline is
overkill.  Disable it (or do the VMEXIT_LITE mitigation if needed).
