objtool: Check that module init/exit function is an indirect call target

Some out-of-tree modules still do not use module_init() / module_exit()
macros and simply create functions with magic names init_module() and
cleanup_module() instead. As a result, these functions are not recognized
as indirect call targets by objtool and such module fails to load into an
IBT enabled kernel.

This old way is not even documented any more but it is cleaner to issue
a warning than to let the module fail on load without obvious reason.

+12. file.o: warning: func(): not an indirect call target
+
+   This means that objtool is running with --ibt and a function expected
+   to be an indirect call target is not. In particular, this happens for
+   init_module() or cleanup_module() if a module relies on these special
+   names and does not use module_init() / module_exit() macros to create
+   them.

 If the error doesn't seem to make sense, it could be a bug in objtool.
 Feel free to ask the objtool maintainer for help.
