x86/retpoline: Remove the esp/rsp thunk
commit 1df37383a8aeabb9b418698f0bcdffea01f4b1b2 upstream. It doesn't make sense to have an indirect call thunk with esp/rsp as retpoline code won't work correctly with the stack pointer register. Removing it will help compiler writers to catch error in case such a thunk call is emitted incorrectly.
