objtool: Grow __cfi_* prefix symbols for all CFI+CALL_PADDING

Browse Source 
For all CONFIG_CFI+CONFIG_CALL_PADDING configs, for C functions, the
__cfi_ symbols only cover the 5-byte kCFI type hash.  After that there
also N bytes of NOP padding between the hash and the function entry
which aren't associated with any symbol.

The NOPs can be replaced with actual code at runtime.  Without a symbol,
unwinders and tooling have no way of knowing where those bytes belong.

Grow the existing __cfi_* symbols to fill that gap.

Note that assembly functions with SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START() aren't affected
by this issue, their __cfi_ symbols also cover the padding.

Also, CONFIG_PREFIX_SYMBOLS has no reason to exist: CONFIG_CALL_PADDING
is what causes the compiler to emit NOP padding before function entry
(via -fpatchable-function-entry), so it's the right condition for
creating prefix symbols.

Remove CONFIG_PREFIX_SYMBOLS, as it's no longer needed.  Simplify the
LONGEST_SYM_KUNIT_TEST dependency accordingly.  Rework objtool's
arguments a bit to handle the variety of prefix/cfi-related cases.
