bpf, x64: implement retpoline for tail call

Implement a retpoline [0] for the BPF tail call JIT'ing that converts
the indirect jump via jmp %rax that is used to make the long jump into
another JITed BPF image. Since this is subject to speculative execution,
we need to control the transient instruction sequence here as well
when CONFIG_RETPOLINE is set, and direct it into a pause + lfence loop.
The latter aligns also with what gcc / clang emits (e.g. [1]).

JIT dump after patch:

  # bpftool p d x i 1
   0: (18) r2 = map[id:1]
   2: (b7) r3 = 0
   3: (85) call bpf_tail_call#12
   4: (b7) r0 = 2
   5: (95) exit

With CONFIG_RETPOLINE:

  # bpftool p d j i 1
  [...]
  33:	cmp    %edx,0x24(%rsi)
  36:	jbe    0x0000000000000072  |*
  38:	mov    0x24(%rbp),%eax
  3e:	cmp    $0x20,%eax
  41:	ja     0x0000000000000072  |
  43:	add    $0x1,%eax
  46:	mov    %eax,0x24(%rbp)
  4c:	mov    0x90(%rsi,%rdx,8),%rax
  54:	test   %rax,%rax
  57:	je     0x0000000000000072  |
  59:	mov    0x28(%rax),%rax
  5d:	add    $0x25,%rax
  61:	callq  0x000000000000006d  |+
  66:	pause                      |
  68:	lfence                     |
  6b:	jmp    0x0000000000000066  |
  6d:	mov    %rax,(%rsp)         |
  71:	retq                       |
  72:	mov    $0x2,%eax
  [...]

  * relative fall-through jumps in error case
  + retpoline for indirect jump

Without CONFIG_RETPOLINE:

  # bpftool p d j i 1
  [...]
  33:	cmp    %edx,0x24(%rsi)
  36:	jbe    0x0000000000000063  |*
  38:	mov    0x24(%rbp),%eax
  3e:	cmp    $0x20,%eax
  41:	ja     0x0000000000000063  |
  43:	add    $0x1,%eax
  46:	mov    %eax,0x24(%rbp)
  4c:	mov    0x90(%rsi,%rdx,8),%rax
  54:	test   %rax,%rax
  57:	je     0x0000000000000063  |
  59:	mov    0x28(%rax),%rax
  5d:	add    $0x25,%rax
  61:	jmpq   *%rax               |-
  63:	mov    $0x2,%eax
  [...]

  * relative fall-through jumps in error case
  - plain indirect jump as before
