Subject[tip: x86/core] x86/Kconfig: Only allow CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT with ld.lld >= 14.0.0
The following commit has been merged into the x86/core branch of tip:

x86/Kconfig: Only allow CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT with ld.lld >= 14.0.0

With CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT=y and a version of ld.lld prior to 14.0.0,
there are numerous objtool warnings along the lines of:

warning: objtool: .plt+0x6: indirect jump found in RETPOLINE build

This is a known issue that has been resolved in ld.lld 14.0.0. Prevent
CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT from being selectable when using one of these
problematic ld.lld versions.
