Subject: x86/mm/sme, objtool: Annotate indirect call in sme_encrypt_execute()

From: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]>

commit 531bb52a869a9c6e08c8d17ba955fcbfc18037ad upstream.

This is boot code and thus Spectre-safe: we run this _way_ before userspace comes along to have a chance to poison our branch predictor.
