objtool/klp: Skip hidden directories when finding objects

klp-build's find_objects() scans the whole tree for vmlinux.o and .ko
files, pruning only klp-tmp/ and .git/.  Development tools can leave
other dot-directories in the tree.  Kernel objects never live under
hidden directories, so prune them all.
