UPSTREAM: x86/speculation: Add eIBRS + Retpoline options
commit 1e19da8522c81bf46b335f84137165741e0d82b7 upstream. Thanks to the chaps at VUsec it is now clear that eIBRS is not sufficient, therefore allow enabling of retpolines along with eIBRS. Add spectre_v2=eibrs, spectre_v2=eibrs,lfence and spectre_v2=eibrs,retpoline options to explicitly pick your preferred means of mitigation. Since there's new mitigations there's also user visible changes in /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2 to reflect these new mitigations.
