[PATCH] x86/build: Unilaterally disable -fcf-protection

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Xen doesn't support CET-IBT yet.  At a minimum, logic is required to enable it
for supervisor use, but the livepatch functionality needs to learn not to
overwrite ENDBR64 instructions.

Furthermore, Ubuntu enables -fcf-protection by default, along with a buggy
version of GCC-9 which objects to it in combination with
-mindirect-branch=thunk-extern (Fixed in GCC 10, 9.4).

Various objects (Xen boot path, Rombios 32 stubs) require .text to be at the
beginning of the object.  These paths explode when .note.gnu.properties gets
put ahead of .text and we end up executing the notes data.

Disable -fcf-protection for all embedded objects.
