Subject: efi/libstub: Disable -mbranch-protection
Patch-mainline: v5.10-rc1
Git-commit: e2179a09ab089d3423751bd2b0c884ddb3eabe84
References: jsc#SLE-16407
In preparation for adding --orphan-handling=warn to more architectures,
disable -mbranch-protection, as EFI does not yet support it[1]. This was
noticed due to it producing unwanted .note.gnu.property sections (prefixed
with .init due to the objcopy build step).
However, we must also work around a bug in Clang where the section is
still emitted for code-less object files[2], so also remove the section
during the objcopy.
