Subject: [PATCH 5.10 006/130] objtool: Support retpoline jump detection for vmlinux.o

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@...hat.com>

commit 31a7424bc58063a8e0466c3c10f31a52ec2be4f6 upstream.

Objtool converts direct retpoline jumps to type INSN_JUMP_DYNAMIC, since
that's what they are semantically.

That conversion doesn't work in vmlinux.o validation because the
indirect thunk function is present in the object, so the intra-object
jump check succeeds before the retpoline jump check gets a chance.

Rearrange the checks: check for a retpoline jump before checking for an
intra-object jump.
