x86,bpf: Avoid IBT objtool warning
[ Upstream commit be8a096521ca1a252bf078b347f96ce94582612e ]
Clang can inline emit_indirect_jump() and then folds constants, which
results in:
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: emit_bpf_dispatcher()+0x6a4: relocation to !ENDBR: .text.__x86.indirect_thunk+0x40
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: emit_bpf_dispatcher()+0x67d: relocation to !ENDBR: .text.__x86.indirect_thunk+0x40
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: emit_bpf_tail_call_indirect()+0x386: relocation to !ENDBR: .text.__x86.indirect_thunk+0x20
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: emit_bpf_tail_call_indirect()+0x35d: relocation to !ENDBR: .text.__x86.indirect_thunk+0x20
Suppress the optimization such that it must emit a code reference to
the __x86_indirect_thunk_array[] base.
