From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 00e1533325fd1fb5459229fe37f235462649f668 upstream. Put the actual retpoline thunk as the original code so that it can become more complicated. Specifically, it allows RET to be a JMP, which can't be .altinstr_replacement since that doesn't do relocations (except for the very first instruction).
