x86/amd: Use IBPB for firmware calls
commit 28a99e95 upstream. On AMD IBRS does not prevent Retbleed; as such use IBPB before a firmware call to flush the branch history state. And because in order to do an EFI call, the kernel maps a whole lot of the kernel page table into the EFI page table, do an IBPB just in case in order to prevent the scenario of poisoning the BTB and causing an EFI call using the unprotected RET there.
