[PATCH 04/26] objtool: let some noinstr functions make indirect calls

[Brendan Jackman <jackmanb@google.com>]

As described in the comment, some noinstr functions really need to make
indirect calls.

Those functions could be rewritten to use static calls, but that just
shifts the "assume it's instrumented" to "assume the indirect call is
fine" which seems like just moving the problem around.

Instead here's a way to selectively mark functions that are known to be
in the danger zone, and we'll just have to be careful with them.
