Switch from Clang's original forward-edge control-flow integrity

kernel, as it doesn't require LTO, doesn't use a jump table that
requires altering function references, and won't break cross-module
function address equality.

Looks good on arm64 with LKDTM, too:

[   96.904483] lkdtm: Performing direct entry CFI_FORWARD_PROTO
[   96.904718] lkdtm: Calling matched prototype ...
[   96.904829] lkdtm: Calling mismatched prototype ...
[   96.905250] CFI failure at lkdtm_CFI_FORWARD_PROTO+0x54/0x94 [lkdtm] (target: lkdtm_increment_int+0x0/0x20 [lkdtm]; expected type: 0x7e0c52a5)
