x86/speculation: Add LFENCE to RSB fill sequence

commit ba6e31af2be96c4d0536f2152ed6f7b6c11bca47 upstream.

RSB fill sequence does not have any protection for miss-prediction of
conditional branch at the end of the sequence. CPU can speculatively
execute code immediately after the sequence, while RSB filling hasn't
completed yet.

  #define __FILL_RETURN_BUFFER(reg, nr, sp)	\
  	mov	$(nr/2), reg;			\
  771:						\
  	call	772f;				\
  773:	/* speculation trap */			\
  	pause;					\
  	lfence;					\
  	jmp	773b;				\
  772:						\
  	call	774f;				\
  775:	/* speculation trap */			\
  	pause;					\
  	lfence;					\
  	jmp	775b;				\
  774:						\
  	dec	reg;				\
  	jnz	771b;  <----- CPU can miss-predict here.				\
  	add	$(BITS_PER_LONG/8) * nr, sp;

Before RSB is filled, RETs that come in program order after this macro
can be executed speculatively, making them vulnerable to RSB-based
attacks.

Mitigate it by adding an LFENCE after the conditional branch to prevent
speculation while RSB is being filled.
