Use __builtin_function_start() to implement the function_nocfi() macro
when CONFIG_CFI_CLANG is selected.

As a heads-up, with patches 1 and 2 applied (but not patch 3), we have two
definitions of function_nocfi(), which casues the compiler to scream for every
object:

| In file included from <built-in>:3:
| In file included from ././include/linux/compiler_types.h:107:
| ./arch/arm64/include/asm/compiler.h:33:9: warning: 'function_nocfi' macro redefined [-Wmacro-redefined]
| #define function_nocfi(x) ({                                            \
|         ^
| ./include/linux/compiler-clang.h:79:9: note: previous definition is here
| #define function_nocfi(x)       __builtin_function_start(x)
|         ^
| 1 warning generated.

... which would be painful for bisection.

I suspect It's probably worth folding patches 2 and 3 together to avoid that?

Arguably we could fold the entire series together into one commit at that
point.

Thanks,
Mark.
