Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 15/20] objtool: Disable CFI warnings

The __cfi_ preambles contain int3 padding and a mov instruction that
embeds the KCFI type identifier in the following format:

  ; type preamble
  __cfi_function:
    int3
    int3
    mov <id>, %eax
    int3
    int3
  function:
    ...

While the preamble symbols are STT_FUNC and contain valid
instructions, they are never executed and always fall through. Skip
the warning for them.

.kcfi_traps sections point to CFI traps in text sections. Also skip
the warning about them referencing !ENDBR instructions.
