x86/retpolines: Enable the default thunk warning only on relevant configs

The using-default-thunk warning check makes sense only with
configurations which actually enable the special return thunks.

Otherwise, it fires on unrelated 32-bit configs on which the special
return thunks won't even work (they're 64-bit only) and, what is more,
those configs even go off into the weeds when booting in the
alternatives patching code, leading to a dead machine.
