x86/speculation: Use generic retpoline by default on AMD

Browse Source 
commit 244d00b5dd4755f8df892c86cab35fb2cfd4f14b upstream.

AMD retpoline may be susceptible to speculation. The speculation
execution window for an incorrect indirect branch prediction using
LFENCE/JMP sequence may potentially be large enough to allow
exploitation using Spectre V2.

By default, don't use retpoline,lfence on AMD.  Instead, use the
generic retpoline.
