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

[ Upstream commit 18bae0dfec15b24ec14ca17dc18603372f5f254f ]
eIBRS protects against guest->host RSB underflow/poisoning attacks. Adding retpoline to the mix doesn't change that. Retpoline has a balanced CALL/RET anyway.
So the current full RSB filling on VMEXIT with eIBRS+retpoline is overkill. Disable it or do the VMEXIT_LITE mitigation if needed.
