6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Upstream commit: 095b8303f3835c68ac4a8b6d754ca1c3b6230711
There is infrastructure to rewrite return thunks to point to any
random thunk one desires, unwrap that from CALL_THUNKS, which up to
now was the sole user of that.
[ bp: Make the thunks visible on 32-bit and add ifdeffery for the
32-bit builds. ]
