Subject[PATCH v2] x86/alternative: fix undefined reference to __ibt_endbr_seal[_end]
Date
Due to the explicit 'noinline' GCC-7.3 is not able to optimize away the
argument setup of:

apply_ibt_endbr(__ibt_endbr_seal, __ibt_enbr_seal_end);

even when X86_KERNEL_IBT=n and the function is an empty stub which leads
to link errors due to missing __ibt_endbr_seal* symbols like below:

ld: arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: in function
`alternative_instructions':
alternative.c:(.init.text+0x15d): undefined reference to
`__ibt_endbr_seal_end'
ld: alternative.c:(.init.text+0x164): undefined reference to
`__ibt_endbr_seal'

Remove explicit 'noinline' to help gcc optimize them away.
[Thanks Peter Zijlstra for tweaking the commit log.]
