[PATCH v2 3/8] objtool: Add module specific retpoline rules

[Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: peterz-objtool-module-rules.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2490 bytes --]

David wanted to not use retpolines in .init.text but that will trip up
objtool retpoline validation, fix that.
