For a "fail fast" style of building, it makes sense to have objtool run
as early as possible, so it makes sense to keep the current behavior in
non-LTO mode. I do wonder, though, if there is a real benefit to having
"fail fast" case. I imagine a lot of automated builds are using
--keep-going with make, and actually waiting until the end to do the
validation means more code will get build-tested before objtool rejects
the results. *shrug*

I wonder if objtool_args could be reused here instead of having two
places to keep in sync? It looks like that might mean moving things
around a bit before this patch, since I can't quite see if
Makefile.build's variables are visible to Makefile.modfinal?
