[PATCH v3 18/39] x86/ibt,ftrace: Make function-graph play nice

Return trampoline must not use indirect branch to return; while this
preserves the RSB, it is fundamentally incompatible with IBT. Instead
use a retpoline like ROP gadget that defeats IBT while not unbalancing
the RSB.

And since ftrace_stub is no longer a plain RET, don't use it to copy
from. Since RET is a trivial instruction, poke it directly.
