    x86: Use indirect calls in reset-stack infrastructure
    
    Mixing up JMP and CALL indirect targets leads a very fun form of speculative
    type confusion.  A target which is expecting to be called CALLed needs a
    return address on the stack, and an indirect JMP doesn't place one there.
    
    An indirect JMP which predicts to a target intending to be CALLed can end up
    with a RET speculatively executing with a value from the JMPers stack frame.
    
    There are several ways get indirect JMPs in Xen.
    
     * From tailcall optimisations.  These are safe because the compiler has
       arranged the stack to point at the callee's return address.
    
     * From jump tables.  These are unsafe, but Xen is built with 
-fno-jump-tables
       to work around several compiler issues.
    
     * From reset_stack_and_jump_ind(), which is particularly unsafe.  Because 
of
       the additional stack adjustment made, the value picked up off the stack 
is
       regs->r15 of the next vCPU to run.
    
    In order to mitigate this type confusion, we want to make all indirect 
targets
    be CALL targets, and remove the use of indirect JMP except via tailcall
    optimisation.
    
    Luckily due to XSA-348, all C target functions of reset_stack_and_jump_ind()
    are noreturn.  {svm,vmx}_do_resume() exits via reset_stack_and_jump(); a
    direct JMP with entirely different prediction properties.  idle_loop() is an
    infinite loop which eventually exits via reset_stack_and_jump_ind() from a 
new
    schedule.  i.e. These paths are all fine having one extra return address on
    the stack.
    
    This leaves continue_pv_domain(), which is expecting to be a JMP target.
    Alter it to strip the return address off the stack, which is safe because
    there isn't actually a RET expecting to return to its caller.
    
    This allows us change reset_stack_and_jump_ind() to 
reset_stack_and_call_ind()
    in order to mitigate the speculative type confusion.
    
    This is part of XSA-456 / CVE-2024-2201.
