Peter Zijlstra 908bd980a8 objtool,x86: Replace alternatives with .retpoline_sites ...

commit 134ab5bd1883312d7a4b3033b05c6b5a1bb8889b upstream.

Instead of writing complete alternatives, simply provide a list of all
the retpoline thunk calls. Then the kernel is free to do with them as
it pleases. Simpler code all-round.
