x86/srso: Fix build breakage with the LLVM linker

commit cbe8ded48b939b9d55d2c5589ab56caa7b530709 upstream.

The assertion added to verify the difference in bits set of the
addresses of srso_untrain_ret_alias() and srso_safe_ret_alias() would fail
to link in LLVM's ld.lld linker with the following error:

  ld.lld: error: ./arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:210: at least one side of
  the expression must be absolute
  ld.lld: error: ./arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:211: at least one side of
  the expression must be absolute

Use ABSOLUTE to evaluate the expression referring to at least one of the
symbols so that LLD can evaluate the linker script.

Also, add linker version info to the comment about XOR being unsupported
in either ld.bfd or ld.lld until somewhat recently.
