[Devel] [PATCH 1/2] ms/tracing: Introduce tracepoint extended structure

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers at efficios.com>

Commit 1d562f197d01a ("ms/objtool: Exclude __tracepoints data from
ENDBR checks") was backported from mainstream, which excludes the
__tracepoints section from objtool's IBT validation. This causes
regfunc/unregfunc function pointers stored directly in struct tracepoint
to have their ENDBR instructions incorrectly sealed at boot, resulting
in a kernel crash when called indirectly with CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT=y.

In mainstream, this commit amends the crash by moving regfunc/unregfunc
into a separate struct tracepoint_ext outside the __tracepoints section,
and should be backported alongside it.
