x86/retpoline: Use -mfunction-return
commit 0b53c374b9eff2255a386f1f1cfb9a928e52a5ae upstream. Utilize -mfunction-return=thunk-extern when available to have the compiler replace RET instructions with direct JMPs to the symbol __x86_return_thunk. This does not affect assembler (.S) sources, only C sources. -mfunction-return=thunk-extern has been available since gcc 7.3 and clang 15.
