x86/its: Add support for ITS-safe return thunk
RETs in the lower half of cacheline may be affected by ITS bug,
specifically when the RSB-underflows. Use ITS-safe return thunk for such
RETs.
RETs that are not patched:
- RET in retpoline sequence does not need to be patched, because the
sequence itself fills an RSB before RET.
- RET in Call Depth Tracking (CDT) thunks __x86_indirect_{call|jump}_thunk
and call_depth_return_thunk are not patched because CDT by design
prevents RSB-underflow.
- RETs in .init section are not reachable after init.
- RETs that are explicitly marked safe with ANNOTATE_UNRET_SAFE.
