From: Dou Liyang <douly.fnst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
(cherry picked from commit 9471eee9186a46893726e22ebb54cade3f9bc043)
The spectre_v2 option 'auto' does not check whether CONFIG_RETPOLINE is
enabled. As a consequence it fails to emit the appropriate warning and sets
feature flags which have no effect at all.
Add the missing IS_ENABLED() check.
Fixes: da285121560e ("x86/spectre: Add boot time option to select Spectre v2 mitigation")
