[PATCH 12/27] kbuild: Defer running objtool to link time for all CFG features

noreturns.h file is hand-maintained file which hard codes all the known
__noreturn functions in the kernel.  It's fragile, often missing
entries, and keeping it up to date is a maintenance burden.

For LTO, IBT, and klp-build configs, the majority of those entries
aren't needed, because objtool runs on vmlinux.o, so it already has
visibility into whether a given function returns (with its dead end
detection).

Remove the need for many of the noreturns.h entries by just always
deferring objtool for all features which rely on having the noreturn
information: namely the ones which rely on the reverse-engineered
control flow graph (CFG).
