Josh Poimboeuf 0b10177114 objtool: Always fail on fatal errors
Objtool writes several object annotations which are used to enable
critical kernel runtime functionalities like static calls and
retpoline/rethunk patching.

In the rare case where it fails to read or write an object, the
annotations don't get written, causing runtime code patching to fail and
code to become corrupted.

Due to the catastrophic nature of such warnings, convert them to errors
which fail the build regardless of CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
