objtool/klp: Fix unexported static call key access for manually built livepatch modules

Browse Source 
Enabling CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG with CONFIG_SAMPLE_LIVEPATCH
results in the following error:

  samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix1.o: error: objtool: static_call: can't find static_call_key symbol: __SCK__WARN_trap

This is caused an extra file->klp sanity check which was added by commit
164c9201e1 ("objtool: Add base objtool support for livepatch
modules").  That check was intended to ensure that livepatch modules
built with klp-build always have full access to their static call keys.

However, it failed to account for the fact that manually built livepatch
modules (i.e., not built with klp-build) might need access to unexported
static call keys, for which read-only access is typically allowed for
modules.

While the livepatch-shadow-fix1 module doesn't explicitly use any static
calls, it does have a memory allocation, which can cause
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG to insert a WARN() call.  And WARN() is
now an unexported static call as of commit 860238af7a ("x86_64/bug:
Inline the UD1").

Fix it by removing the overzealous file->klp check, restoring the
original behavior for manually built livepatch modules.
