The main point of this series is patch 4 to remove one taken branch from every
function return.  Everything else is cleanup.

Patch 3 has an issue that sadly may invalidate this as a technique.  Patch 4
needs some objtool whispering to fix.

Based on x86/urgent but I suspect this may want rebasing around other fixes in
flight.

Andrew Cooper (4):
  x86/srso: Rename srso_alias_*() to srso_fam19_*()
  x86/srso: Rename fam17 SRSO infrastructure to srso_fam17_*()
  x86/ret-thunk: Support CALL-ing to the ret-thunk
  x86/srso: Use CALL-based return thunks to reduce overhead
