Subject: [PATCH v5 04/15] cfi: Add DEFINE_CFI_IMMEDIATE_RETURN_STUB

This change introduces the DEFINE_CFI_IMMEDIATE_RETURN_STUB macro,
which defines a stub function that immediately returns and when
defined in the core kernel, always passes indirect call checking
with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG. Note that this macro should only be used when
a stub cannot be called using the correct function type.
