Build breakage caused by the use of UDB

[Jean Delvare]

Hi Peter,

Kernel v6.18.1 doesn't build on x86_64 for me. The build failure is:

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/khali/src/linux-6.18/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8192c'

I bisected it down to:

commit 85a2d4a890dce3cfc9c14aa91afc3dd7af8e3bf5
Author: Peter Zijlstra
Date:   Mon Sep 1 12:49:58 2025 +0200

    x86,ibt: Use UDB instead of 0xEA

Reverting this commit allows me to build v6.18.1.

I must confess this is all way beyond me and I have no idea how this
change can cause such a build failure, but it does. If it matters, my
compiler is gcc 8.2.1.
