x86/mm: Ensure clear_page() variants always have __kcfi_typeid_ symbols
When building with CONFIG_CFI=y and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_FULL=y, there is a series
of errors from the various versions of clear_page() not having __kcfi_typeid_
symbols.
$ cat kernel/configs/repro.config
CONFIG_CFI=y
# CONFIG_LTO_NONE is not set
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_FULL=y
$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 clean defconfig repro.config bzImage
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_clear_page_rep
>>> referenced by ld-temp.o
>>> vmlinux.o:(__cfi_clear_page_rep)
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_clear_page_orig
>>> referenced by ld-temp.o
>>> vmlinux.o:(__cfi_clear_page_orig)
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_clear_page_erms
>>> referenced by ld-temp.o
>>> vmlinux.o:(__cfi_clear_page_erms)
With full LTO, it is possible for LLVM to realize that these functions never
have their address taken (as they are only used within an alternative, which
will make them a direct call) across the whole kernel and either drop or skip
generating their kCFI type identification symbols.
clear_page_{rep,orig,erms}() are defined in clear_page_64.S with
SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START as a result of
2981557cb040 ("x86,kcfi: Fix EXPORT_SYMBOL vs kCFI"),
as exported functions are free to be called indirectly thus need kCFI type
identifiers.
Use KCFI_REFERENCE with these clear_page() functions to force LLVM to see
these functions as address-taken and generate then keep the kCFI type
identifiers.
