Subject: x86/cpu: Fix __x86_return_thunk symbol type
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 77f67119004296a9b2503b377d610e08b08afc2a upstream.
Commit
fb3bd914b3ec ("x86/srso: Add a Speculative RAS Overflow mitigation")
reimplemented __x86_return_thunk with a mix of SYM_FUNC_START and
SYM_CODE_END, this is not a sane combination.
Since nothing should ever actually 'CALL' this, make it consistently
CODE.
