Josh Poimboeuf b68b990706 objtool: Support conditional retpolines
A Clang-built kernel is showing the following warning:

  arch/x86/kernel/platform-quirks.o: warning: objtool: x86_early_init_platform_quirks()+0x84: unreachable instruction

That corresponds to this code:

  7e:   0f 85 00 00 00 00       jne    84 <x86_early_init_platform_quirks+0x84>
                        80: R_X86_64_PC32       __x86_indirect_thunk_r11-0x4
  84:   c3                      retq

This is a conditional retpoline sibling call, which is now possible
thanks to retpolines.  Objtool hasn't seen that before.  It's
incorrectly interpreting the conditional jump as an unconditional
dynamic jump.
