Subject: objtool: Exclude __tracepoints data from ENDBR checks


For some, as of yet unexplained reason, Clang-19, but not GCC,
generates and endless stream of:

drivers/iio/imu/bno055/bno055_ser.o: warning: objtool: __tracepoint_send_chunk+0x20: data relocation to !ENDBR: __SCT__tp_func_send_chunk+0x0
drivers/iio/imu/bno055/bno055_ser.o: warning: objtool: __tracepoint_cmd_retry+0x20: data relocation to !ENDBR: __SCT__tp_func_cmd_retry+0x0
drivers/iio/imu/bno055/bno055_ser.o: warning: objtool: __tracepoint_write_reg+0x20: data relocation to !ENDBR: __SCT__tp_func_write_reg+0x0
drivers/iio/imu/bno055/bno055_ser.o: warning: objtool: __tracepoint_read_reg+0x20: data relocation to !ENDBR: __SCT__tp_func_read_reg+0x0
drivers/iio/imu/bno055/bno055_ser.o: warning: objtool: __tracepoint_recv+0x20: data relocation to !ENDBR: __SCT__tp_func_recv+0x0

Which is entirely correct, but harmless. Add the __tracepoints section
to the exclusion list.
