x86/cpu: Clean up SRSO return thunk mess

Use the existing configurable return thunk. There is absolute no
justification for having created this __x86_return_thunk alternative.

To clarify, the whole thing looks like:

Zen3/4 does:

srso_alias_untrain_ret:
nop2
lfence
jmp srso_alias_return_thunk
int3

srso_alias_safe_ret: // aliasses srso_alias_untrain_ret just so
add $8, %rsp
ret
int3

srso_alias_return_thunk:
call srso_alias_safe_ret
ud2

While Zen1/2 does:

srso_untrain_ret:
movabs $foo, %rax
lfence
call srso_safe_ret (jmp srso_return_thunk ?)
int3

srso_safe_ret: // embedded in movabs instruction
add $8,%rsp
ret
int3

srso_return_thunk:
call srso_safe_ret
ud2

While retbleed does:

zen_untrain_ret:
test $0xcc, %bl
lfence
jmp zen_return_thunk
int3

zen_return_thunk: // embedded in the test instruction
ret
int3

Where Zen1/2 flush the BTB entry using the instruction decoder trick
(test,movabs) Zen3/4 use BTB aliasing. SRSO adds a return sequence
(srso_safe_ret()) which forces the function return instruction to
speculate into a trap (UD2). This RET will then mispredict and
execution will continue at the return site read from the top of the
stack.

Pick one of three options at boot (evey function can only ever return
once).

[ bp: Fixup commit message uarch details and add them in a comment in
the code too. Add a comment about the srso_select_mitigation()
dependency on retbleed_select_mitigation(). Add moar ifdeffery for
32-bit builds. Add a dummy srso_untrain_ret_alias() definition for
32-bit alternatives needing the symbol. ]
