3.2.101-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Waiman Long <long...@redhat.com>
commit 1df37383a8aeabb9b418698f0bcdffea01f4b1b2 upstream.
It doesn't make sense to have an indirect call thunk with esp/rsp as
retpoline code won't work correctly with the stack pointer register.
Removing it will help compiler writers to catch error in case such
a thunk call is emitted incorrectly.
Fixes: 76b043848fd2 ("x86/retpoline: Add initial retpoline support")
