Subject: x86/spec-ctrl: Rename retpoline_safe() to retpoline_calculations()

This is prep work, split out to simply the diff on the following change.

* Rename to retpoline_calculations(), and call unconditionally.  It is
   shortly going to synthesise missing enumerations required for guest safety.
 * For the model check switch statement, store the result in a variable and
   break rather than returning directly.

No functional change.
