I do not think this addition is necessary because we make BTI depend on
clang 12 or newer after commit 8cdd23c23c3d ("arm64: Restrict
ARM64_BTI_KERNEL to clang 12.0.0 and newer") upstream. I figured it was
better to go after the root cause rather than add a bunch of version
checks like this to the various sanitizers.
