objtool: Disable CFI warnings
The __cfi_ preambles contain a mov instruction that embeds the KCFI type identifier in the following format: ; type preamble __cfi_function: mov <id>, %eax 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.
