With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler injects a type preamble
immediately before each function and a check to validate the target
function type before indirect calls:

  ; type preamble
  __cfi_function:
    int3
    int3
    mov <id>, %eax
    int3
    int3
  function:
    ...
  ; indirect call check
    cmpl    <id>, -6(%r11)
    je      .Ltmp1
    ud2
  .Ltmp1:
    call    __x86_indirect_thunk_r11

Define the __CFI_TYPE helper macro for manual type annotations in
assembly code, add error handling for the CFI ud2 traps, and allow
CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to be selected on x86_64.

Looks good testing with LKDTM...
