lkdtm: Avoid objtool/ibt warning

For certain configs objtool will complain like:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: lkdtm_UNSET_SMEP+0x1c3: relocation to !ENDBR: native_write_cr4+0x41

What happens is that GCC optimizes the loop:

        insn = (unsigned char *)native_write_cr4;
        for (i = 0; i < MOV_CR4_DEPTH; i++)

to read something like:

        for (insn = (unsigned char *)native_write_cr4;
             insn < (unsigned char *)native_write_cr4 + MOV_CR4_DEPTH;
             insn++)

Which then obviously generates the text reference
native_write_cr4+041. Since none of this is a fast path, simply
confuse GCC enough to inhibit this optimization.
