Why would you be doing noinstr validation for lto builds? That doesn't
make sense.

This is just to avoid a ton of noinstr warnings when we run objtool on
vmlinux.o, but I'm also fine with skipping noinstr validation with LTO.

What about the objtool invocation from link-vmlinux.sh ?

What about it? The existing objtool_link invocation in link-vmlinux.sh
works fine for our purposes as well.
