Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/retpoline: Only set RETPOLINE_AMD if LFENCE is
 serializing

The RETPOLINE_AMD feature relies on a serializing LFENCE for speculation
control.  For AMD hardware, only set RETPOLINE_AMD if LFENCE is a
serializing instruction, which is indicated by the LFENCE_RDTSC feature.

The call to spectre_v2_check_boottime_disable() is currently before the
boot CPU is identified and, therefore, able to set the LFENCE_RDTSC
feature.  Move the call to spectre_v2_check_boottime_disable() to after
identify_boot_cpu() in check_bugs().

Also, protect against specifying spectre_v2=retpoline,amd for non-AMD
hardware and fall-back to the generic retpoline.
