A recent enhancement intentionally fails the kernel build if the
compiler does not support retpolines and CONFIG_RETPOLINE is set.
However, the patch that introduced it did not change RETPOLINE macro
references into CONFIG_RETPOLINE ones. As a result, indirect branches
that are used by init functions are not kept (i.e., they use
retpolines), and modules that do not use retpolines are marked as
retpoline-safe.
Fix it be changing RETPOLINE into CONFIG_RETPOLINE.
Fixes: 4cd24de3a098 ("x86/retpoline: Make CONFIG_RETPOLINE depend on compiler
support")

Someone sent a similar patch last month, see below link, you missed the change
in scripts/mod/modpost.c
Indeed. I missed this patch since it wasn’t on tip (and Google wasn’t
helpful either).
I wonder why it has still not been applied.
See https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/21/244
