x86/retpoline: Fill return stack buffer on vmexit
commit 117cc7a908c83697b0b737d15ae1eb5943afe35b upstream. In accordance with the Intel and AMD documentation, we need to overwrite all entries in the RSB on exiting a guest, to prevent malicious branch target predictions from affecting the host kernel. This is needed both for retpoline and for IBRS.
