Alyssa noticed that when building the kernel with CFI_CLANG+IBT and
booting on IBT enabled hardware to obtain FineIBT, the indirect
functions look like:

  __cfi_foo:
endbr64
subl $hash, %r10d
jz 1f
ud2
nop
  1:
  foo:
endbr64

This is because the compiler generates code for kCFI+IBT. In that case
the caller does the hash check and will jump to +0, so there must be
an ENDBR there. The compiler doesn't know about FineIBT at all; also
it is possible to actually use kCFI+IBT when booting with 'cfi=kcfi'
on IBT enabled hardware.

Having this second ENDBR however makes it possible to elide the CFI
check. Therefore, we should poison this second ENDBR when switching to
FineIBT mode.
