According to the commit message of
"KVM: x86: Refactor __kvm_emulate_hypercall() into a macro":
"Rework __kvm_emulate_hypercall() into a macro so that completion of
hypercalls that don't exit to userspace use direct function calls to the
completion helper, i.e. don't trigger a retpoline when RETPOLINE=y."

So I kept the macro.
