[PATCH] x86/srso: fix build breakage for LD=ld.lld

This patch is yet to be backported and CC to stable.

It's now in -tip, I would expect it to make -rc6:

https://git.kernel.org/tip/cbe8ded48b939b9d55d2c5589ab56caa7b530709

It should have had 'Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org' but I hope the Fixes: tag alone will ensure it gets picked up once it hits mainline, especially since there are other fixes that will come in that pull.
