Restructure the ITS mitigation to use select/update/apply functions like the other mitigations. There is a particularly complex interaction between ITS and Retbleed as CDT (Call Depth Tracking) is a mitigation for both, and either its=stuff or retbleed=stuff will attempt to enable CDT. retbleed_update_mitigation() runs first and will check the necessary pre-conditions for CDT if either ITS or Retbleed stuffing is selected. If checks pass and ITS stuffing is selected, it will select stuffing for Retbleed as well. its_update_mitigation() runs after and will either select stuffing if retbleed stuffing was enabled, or fall back to the default (aligned thunks) if stuffing could not be enabled. Enablement of CDT is done exclusively in retbleed_apply_mitigation(). its_apply_mitigation() is only used to enable aligned thunks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
