	It was reported that under certain circumstances GCC emits ENDBR instructions for _THIS_IP_ usage. Specifically, when it appears at the start of a basic block -- but not elsewhere. Since _THIS_IP_ is never used for control flow, these ENDBR instructions are completely superfluous. Override the _THIS_IP_ definition for x86_64 to avoid this. Less ENDBR instructions is better.

2021-11-09	kernel.h: split out instruction pointer accessors	Stephen Rothwell
	bottom_half.h needs _THIS_IP_ to be standalone, so split that and _RET_IP_ out from kernel.h into the new instruction_pointer.h. kernel.h directly needs them, so include it there and replace the include of kernel.h with this new file in bottom_half.h.
