4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> commit ca41b97ed9124fd62323a162de5852f6e28f94b8 upstream. David allowed retpolines in .init.text, except for modules, which will trip up objtool retpoline validation, fix that.
