I applied this change on top of -tip master and linux-next, where it
appears to break i386_defconfig (I see this error in other
configurations too but defconfig is obviously a simple target) with both
GCC and LLVM:
i386-linux-ld: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.o: in function `cpu_select_mitigations':
bugs.c:(.init.text+0xe61): undefined reference to `zen_return_thunk'

It is still present at the head of the series, just with the function
rename.

This configuration does have
# CONFIG_RETHUNK is not set
but turning it on does not resolve the x86_return_thunk error...

I'd keep digging but I am running out of time for the day, hence just
the report rather than a fix.
