[PATCH 2/3] x86/kcfi: Emit the FineIBT paranoid "cs" prefix as a byte

[Kees Cook]

The "cs" prefix on the LEA in the FineIBT paranoid caller template is
padding: it places the LEA's 0xf0 immediate byte where it doubles as the
LOCK prefix that makes the failing Jcc raise #UD. GNU as warns about it
in every CONFIG_FINEIBT=y build:

  Warning: segment override on `lea' is ineffectual

Clang's integrated assembler does not warn, and both assemble the same
bytes. Emit the prefix with ".byte 0x2e" to silence GNU as.

Build tested ARCH=x86_64 defconfig with CONFIG_CFI=y, with GCC 17.0.0
(experimental, with the kCFI series) and GNU as 2.47, and with Clang
24.0.0git: GNU as no longer warns, and the template assembles to the
same bytes as before with both. Under QEMU with cfi=fineibt,paranoid,
the paranoid caller check catches LKDTM's CFI_FORWARD_PROTO with both.
