Subject: x86/boot, objtool: Annotate indirect jump in secondary_startup_64()
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit bd89004f6305cbf7352238f61da093207ee518d6 upstream.
The objtool retpoline validation found this indirect jump. Seeing how
it's on CPU bringup before we run userspace it should be safe, annotate
it.
