[PATCH 3/9] x86/speculation: Add eIBRS + Retpoline options

commit 1e19da8522c81bf46b335f84137165741e0d82b7 upstream.

Thanks to the chaps at VUsec it is now clear that eIBRS is not
sufficient, therefore allow enabling of retpolines along with eIBRS.

Add spectre_v2=eibrs, spectre_v2=eibrs,lfence and
spectre_v2=eibrs,retpoline options to explicitly pick your preferred
means of mitigation.

Since there's new mitigations there's also user visible changes in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2 to reflect these
new mitigations.

  [ bp: Massage commit message, trim error messages,
    do more precise eIBRS mode checking. ]
