Pull kcfi updates from Kees Cook:
 "This replaces the prior support for Clang's standard Control Flow
  Integrity (CFI) instrumentation, which has required a lot of special
  conditions (e.g. LTO) and work-arounds.

  The new implementation ("Kernel CFI") is specific to C, directly
  designed for the Linux kernel, and takes advantage of architectural
  features like x86's IBT. This series retains arm64 support and adds
  x86 support.

  GCC support is expected in the future[1], and additional "generic"
  architectural support is expected soon[2].

  Summary:

   - treewide: Remove old CFI support details

   - arm64: Replace Clang CFI support with Clang KCFI support

   - x86: Introduce Clang KCFI support"
