x86/retpoline: Create a retpoline thunk array
commit 1a6f74429c42a3854980359a758e222005712aee upstream. Stick all the retpolines in a single symbol and have the individual thunks as inner labels, this should guarantee thunk order and layout. Previously there were 16 (or rather 15 without rsp) separate symbols and a toolchain might reasonably expect it could displace them however it liked, with disregard for their relative position. However, now they're part of a larger symbol. Any change to their relative position would disrupt this larger _array symbol and thus not be sound. This is the same reasoning used for data symbols. On their own there is no guarantee about their relative position wrt to one aonther, but we're still able to do arrays because an array as a whole is a single larger symbol.
