commit 2d49b721dc18c113d5221f4cf5a6104eb66cb7f2 upstream.
It turns out that the compilers generate conditional branches to the
retpoline thunks like:
5d5: 0f 85 00 00 00 00 jne 5db <cpuidle_reflect+0x22>
5d7: R_X86_64_PLT32 __x86_indirect_thunk_r11-0x4
while the rewrite can only handle JMP/CALL to the thunks. The result
is the alternative wrecking the code. Make sure to skip writing the
alternatives for conditional branches.
Fixes: 9bc0bb50727c ("objtool/x86: Rewrite retpoline thunk calls")
