[SRU artful] retpoline/IBPB combined mitigation

The previous retpoline update dropped IBPB support. This would reduce our
protection for userspace/VMs. This patch kit reinstates that protection
and uses it in combination with retpoline where each is available. Note
that IBPB support is dependent on having microcode for your CPU which
supports it.
Proposing for SRU to artful.
