[SRU artful/linux] switch Spectre V2 mitigation to retpoline

Now that retpoline has made it to stable it is appropriate we switch
over to this for mitigation of Spectre V2.  This form is meant to have a
significantly lower performance penalty, and also does not require
microcode support from the processor.

This is a large patchset as it has to revert the existing mitigations for
Spectre V1 and V2 as these are intertwined.  We take advantage of this
to reapply a slightly updated Spectre V1 mitigation and to more clearly
identify those patches for when they are themselves replaced by final
upstream versions.  Finally testing of this set threw up a procfs bug
(LP: #1747263) which though not actuall a regression I am including as
it breaks ADT testing.

The patches are split into 4 sections, each set has been marked up such
that they fall out separatly in the Ubuntu change (which is included in
the pull request at the end of this email).

  * CVE-2017-5715 (revert embargoed) // CVE-2017-5753 (revert embargoed)
  * CVE-2017-5715 (Spectre v2 retpoline)
  * CVE-2017-5753 (Spectre v1 Intel)
  * [artful] panic in update_stack_state when reading /proc/<pid>/stack on i386

Full pull-request is below.  Proposing for SRU to artful/linux.
