[PATCH 1/6] x86/build: Remove cc-option for GCC retpoline flags

[Nathan Chancellor]

The minimum supported version of GCC to build the x86 kernel was bumped
to GCC 8.1 in commit a3e8fe814ad1 ("x86/build: Raise the minimum GCC
version to 8.1"). '-mindirect-branch' and '-mindirect-branch-register'
were first supported in GCC 8.1, so there is no need to call cc-option
to inquire if it is supported.
