This patch reads special sections which have alternate
instructions, only when stackval or orc or uaccess or
noinstr options are passed to objtool.

What about something like:

Reading special sections which have alternate instructions is only 
needed for stack validation or orc or uaccess validation or noinstr 
validation.

Only call add_special_section_alts() when stackval or orc or uaccess or
noinstr options are passed to objtool.
