x86/vdso: Fix rethunk patching for vdso-image-{32,64}.o
For CONFIG_RETHUNK kernels, objtool annotates all the function return
sites so they can be patched during boot. By design, after
apply_returns() is called, all tail-calls to the compiler-generated
default return thunk (__x86_return_thunk) should be patched out and
replaced with whatever's needed for any mitigations (or lack thereof).
The commit
4461438a8405 ("x86/retpoline: Ensure default return thunk isn't used at runtime")
adds a runtime check and a WARN_ONCE() if the default return thunk ever
gets executed after alternatives have been applied. This warning is
a sanity check to make sure objtool and apply_returns() are doing their
job.
As Nathan reported, that check found something:
Unpatched return thunk in use. This should not happen!

Boris debugged to find that the unpatched return site was in
init_vdso_image_64(), and its translation unit wasn't being analyzed by
objtool, so it never got annotated. So it got ignored by
apply_returns().
This is only a minor issue, as this function is only called during boot.
Still, objtool needs full visibility to the kernel. Fix it by enabling
objtool on vdso-image-{32,64}.o.
Note this problem can only be seen with !CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT, as that
requires objtool to run individually on all translation units rather on
vmlinux.o.
