6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 25e73b7e3f72a25aa30cbb2eecb49036e0acf066 ]
It was reported that under certain circumstances GCC emits ENDBR instructions for _THIS_IP_ usage. Specifically, when it appears at the start of a basic block -- but not elsewhere.
Since _THIS_IP_ is never used for control flow, these ENDBR instructions are completely superfluous. Override the _THIS_IP_ definition for x86_64 to avoid this.
Less ENDBR instructions is better.
