x86/alternative: Remove noinline from __ibt_endbr_seal[_end]() stubs

Due to the explicit 'noinline' GCC-7.3 is not able to optimize away the
argument setup of:

	apply_ibt_endbr(__ibt_endbr_seal, __ibt_enbr_seal_end);

even when X86_KERNEL_IBT=n and the function is an empty stub, which leads
to link errors due to missing __ibt_endbr_seal* symbols:

ld: arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: in function `alternative_instructions':
alternative.c:(.init.text+0x15d): undefined reference to `__ibt_endbr_seal_end'
ld: alternative.c:(.init.text+0x164): undefined reference to `__ibt_endbr_seal'

Remove the explicit 'noinline' to help gcc optimize them away.
