4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit ca41b97ed9124fd62323a162de5852f6e28f94b8 upstream.
David allowed retpolines in .init.text, except for modules, which will
trip up objtool retpoline validation, fix that.
