4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit a845c7cf4b4cb5e9e3b2823867892b27646f3a98
Currently objtool requires all retpolines to be:
a) patched in with alternatives; and
b) annotated with ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE.
If you forget to do both of the above, objtool segfaults trying to dereference a NULL 'insn->call_dest' pointer.
Avoid that situation and print a more helpful error message:
quirks.o: warning: objtool: efi_delete_dummy_variable()+0x99: unsupported intra-function call quirks.o: warning: objtool: If this is a retpoline, please patch it in with alternatives and annotate it with ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE.
Future improvements can be made to make objtool smarter with respect to retpolines, but this is a good incremental improvement for now.
