From: Waiman Long <longman@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1df37383a8aeabb9b418698f0bcdffea01f4b1b2 upstream.
It doesn't make sense to have an indirect call thunk with esp/rsp as
retpoline code won't work correctly with the stack pointer register.
Removing it will help compiler writers to catch error in case such
a thunk call is emitted incorrectly.
