6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@xxxxxxxxx> This reverts commit 53ebbe1c8c02aa7b7f072dd2f96bca4faa1daa59. Revert the backport of upstream commit: 095b8303f383 ("x86/alternative: Make custom return thunk unconditional") in order to backport the full version now that 770ae1b70952 ("x86/returnthunk: Allow different return thunks") has been backported. Revert it here so that the build breakage is kept at minimum.
