A recent enhancement intentionally fails the kernel build if the
compiler does not support retpolines and CONFIG_RETPOLINE is set.

However, the patch that introduced it did not change RETPOLINE macro
references into CONFIG_RETPOLINE ones. As a result, indirect branches
that are used by init functions are not kept (i.e., they use
retpolines), and modules that do not use retpolines are marked as
retpoline-safe.

Fix it be changing RETPOLINE into CONFIG_RETPOLINE.

Fixes: 4cd24de3a098 ("x86/retpoline: Make CONFIG_RETPOLINE depend on compiler support")
