Michal Kubecek ce5e0573b5 vmmon: fix indirect call with retpoline build

Build against kernel with retpoline support issues warning

  objtool: Task_Switch()+0x425: indirect call found in RETPOLINE build

This is because an indirect call in TaskSwitchToMonitor() is encoded using
inline assembler so that it bypasses retpoline generation. For this
purpose, macro CALL_NOSPEC exists since v4.15-rc8 (and has been backported
into some distribution kernels with the rest of retpoline support). Use the
macro if available and fallback to the original code if not.

This files in this directory and its subdirectories are the kernel module
portion of the VMware Virtual Machine Monitor.  In order to build, make
certain the Makefile is correct, especially in whether or not your system
is multi-processor and then just type

        make

from this directory.  A copy of the module will be left in

        driver-<kernel version>/vmmon.o

(e.g. driver-up-2.0.32/vmmon.o).
