    x86/bugs: Fix BHI retpoline check
    
    [ Upstream commit 69129794d94c544810e68b2b4eaa7e44063f9bf2 ]
    
    Confusingly, X86_FEATURE_RETPOLINE doesn't mean retpolines are enabled,
    as it also includes the original "AMD retpoline" which isn't a retpoline
    at all.
    
    Also replace cpu_feature_enabled() with boot_cpu_has() because this is
    before alternatives are patched and cpu_feature_enabled()'s fallback
    path is slower than plain old boot_cpu_has().
