Re: [tip:x86/pti] x86/retpoline: Fill RSB on context switch for affected CPUs

This would means that userspace would see return predictions based
on the values the kernel 'stuffed' into the RSB to fill it.

Potentially this leaks a kernel address to userspace.

KASLR pretty much died in May this year to be honest with the KAISER paper (if not before then)

also with KPTI the address won't have a TLB mapping so it wouldn't
actually be speculated into.
