x86/its: Use dynamic thunks for indirect branches

commit 872df34d7c51a79523820ea6a14860398c639b87 upstream.

ITS mitigation moves the unsafe indirect branches to a safe thunk. This
could degrade the prediction accuracy as the source address of indirect
branches becomes same for different execution paths.

To improve the predictions, and hence the performance, assign a separate
thunk for each indirect callsite. This is also a defense-in-depth measure
to avoid indirect branches aliasing with each other.

As an example, 5000 dynamic thunks would utilize around 16 bits of the
address space, thereby gaining entropy. For a BTB that uses
32 bits for indexing, dynamic thunks could provide better prediction
accuracy over fixed thunks.

Have ITS thunks be variable sized and use EXECMEM_MODULE_TEXT such that
they are both more flexible (got to extend them later) and live in 2M TLBs,
just like kernel code, avoiding undue TLB pressure.

  [ pawan: CONFIG_EXECMEM and CONFIG_EXECMEM_ROX are not supported on
	   backport kernel, made changes to use module_alloc() and
	   set_memory_*() for dynamic thunks. ]
