objtool: Only rewrite unconditional retpoline thunk calls
It turns out that the compilers generate conditional branches to the retpoline thunks like: 5d5: 0f 85 00 00 00 00 jne 5db <cpuidle_reflect+0x22> 5d7: R_X86_64_PLT32 __x86_indirect_thunk_r11-0x4 while the rewrite can only handle JMP/CALL to the thunks. The result is the alternative wrecking the code. Make sure to skip writing the alternatives for conditional branches.
