Subject: [PATCH v4] kallsyms: strip CLANG CFI postfix ".cfi_jt"

Clang CFI adds a postfix ".cfi_jt" to a symbols of extern functions.
For e.g. this breaks syscall tracer that doesn't expect such postfix,
so strip out the postfix from the expanded symbol.

Change in v4:
  - Remove redundant check; irrespective of LTO type (THIN/FULL),
    LTO_CLANG will be always enabled. Hence will be used as entry flag
    to check various postfix patterns.
  - And prior to stripping postfix ".cfi_jt", added a comment to
    justify why we are doing so.
 
Change in v3:
  - Modified commit message to indicate fix is for Clang CFI postfix
  - Rebased on recent patch from ndesaulniers@...gle.com.
    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/
	20210707181814.365496-1-ndesaulniers@...gle.com/#t
  - Fix is enabled even for CONFIG_LTO_CLANG

Change in v2:
  - Use existing routine in kallsyms to strip postfix ".cfi_jt" from
    extern function name.
  - Modified the commit message accordingly
