objtool: Split noinstr validation from --vmlinux

This change adds a --noinstr flag to objtool to allow us to specify
that we're processing vmlinux.o without also enabling noinstr
validation. This is needed to avoid false positives with LTO when we
run objtool on vmlinux.o without CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY.
