Subject: [PATCH] x86/ibt: Fix CC_HAS_IBT check for clang

Commit 41c5ef31ad71 ("x86/ibt: Base IBT bits") added a check for a crash
in clang. However, this check does not work for two reasons.

The first reason is that '-pg' is missing from the check, which is
required for '-mfentry' to do anything.

The second reason is that cc-option only uses /dev/null as the input
file, which does not show a problem:

$ clang --version | head -1
Ubuntu clang version 12.0.1-8build1

$ clang -fcf-protection=branch -mfentry -pg -c -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null

$ echo $?
0

$ echo "void a(void) {}" | clang -fcf-protection=branch -mfentry -pg -c -x c - -o /dev/null
...

$ echo $?
139

Use this test instead so that the check works for older versions of
clang.
