objtool: Validate kCFI calls
Validate that all indirect calls adhere to kCFI rules. Notably doing
nocfi indirect call to a cfi function is broken.
Apparently some Rust 'core' code violates this and explodes when ran
with FineIBT.
All the ANNOTATE_NOCFI_SYM sites are prime targets for attackers.
- runtime EFI is especially henous because it also needs to disable
IBT. Basically calling unknown code without CFI protection at
runtime is a massice security issue.
- Kexec image handover; if you can exploit this, you get to keep it :-)
