   # HEAD: 2d49b721dc18c113d5221f4cf5a6104eb66cb7f2 objtool: Only rewrite unconditional retpoline thunk calls

Two objtool fixes:

 - fix a bug that corrupts the code by mistakenly rewriting
   conditional jumps,
 - and fix another bug generating an incorrect ELF symbol table
   during retpoline rewriting.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
