Return Stack Buffer (RSB) is used to predict the target of RET
instructions. When the RSB underflows, some processors may fall back to
using branch predictors. This might impact software using the retpoline
mitigation strategy on those processors.
This commit will add RSB stuffing logic before returning from SMM (the RSM
instruction) to avoid interfering with non-SMM usage of the retpoline
technique.
After the stuffing, RSB entries will contain a trap like:
@SpecTrap:
pause
lfence
jmp @SpecTrap
A more detailed explanation of the purpose of commit is under the
'Branch target injection mitigation' section of the below link:

Please note that this commit requires further actions (BZ 1091) to remove
the duplicated 'StuffRsb.inc' files and merge them into one under a
UefiCpuPkg package-level directory (such as UefiCpuPkg/Include/).

In V2, use "mov rax, strict qword 0" to replace the hard code db.
1. Use lea instruction to get the address instead of mov instruction.
2. Use the dummy address as jmp destination, and add the logic to fix up
the address to the absolute address at boot time.
3. On MpFuncs.nasm, use ExchangeInfo to record InitializeFloatingPointUnits.
This way is same to MpInitLib.

Commits 28ee581646 and 246cd9085f added these ENDs as part of the
manual conversion from *.asm files. However, the ENDs makes no sense for
NASM. Although they don't break the build, NASM complains about them:
label alone on a line without a colon might be in error
(This NASM warning category dates back to NASM 0.95, commit
6768eb71d8deb.)
Remove the ENDs.
