x86/its: Add support for ITS-safe indirect thunk

commit 8754e67ad4ac692c67ff1f99c0d07156f04ae40c upstream.

Due to ITS, indirect branches in the lower half of a cacheline may be
vulnerable to branch target injection attack.

Introduce ITS-safe thunks to patch indirect branches in the lower half of
cacheline with the thunk. Also thunk any eBPF generated indirect branches
in emit_indirect_jump().

Below category of indirect branches are not mitigated:

- Indirect branches in the .init section are not mitigated because they are
  discarded after boot.
- Indirect branches that are explicitly marked retpoline-safe.

Note that retpoline also mitigates the indirect branches against ITS. This
is because the retpoline sequence fills an RSB entry before RET, and it
does not suffer from RSB-underflow part of the ITS.
