[PATCH v4 03/15] objtool: Allow an architecture to disable objtool on ASM files

[Christophe Leroy]

Supporting objtool on ASM files requires quite an effort.

Features like UACCESS validation don't require ASM files validation.

In order to allow architectures to enable objtool validation
without spending unnecessary effort on cleaning up ASM files,
provide an option to disable objtool validation on ASM files.
