commit b2620facef4889fefcbf2e87284f34dcd4189bce upstream.
If a kernel is built with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n, but the user still wants to mitigate Spectre v2 using IBRS or eIBRS, the RSB filling will be silently disabled.
There's nothing retpoline-specific about RSB buffer filling. Remove the CONFIG_RETPOLINE guards around it.
