Subject: [PATCH 5.10 109/148] x86/bugs: Do IBPB fallback check only once

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@...nel.org>

commit 0fe4aeea9c01baabecc8c3afc7889c809d939bc2 upstream.

When booting with retbleed=auto, if the kernel wasn't built with
CONFIG_CC_HAS_RETURN_THUNK, the mitigation falls back to IBPB.  Make
sure a warning is printed in that case.  The IBPB fallback check is done
twice, but it really only needs to be done once.
