Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] x86/cfi: Extend ENDBR sealing to kCFI

Kees noted that IBT sealing could be extended to kCFI.

Fundamentally it is the list of functions that do not have their
address taken and are thus never called indirectly. It doesn't matter
that objtool uses IBT infrastructure to determine this list, once we
have it it can also be used to clobber kCFI hashes and seal kCFI
indirect calls.
