objtool: Find unused ENDBR instructions

Find all ENDBR instructions which are never referenced and stick them in a section such that the kernel can poison them, sealing the functions from ever being an indirect call target. This removes about 1-in-4 ENDBR instructions. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <[email protected]> Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
