Joe Lawrence 3de711fba7 objtool/klp: Fix create_fake_symbols() skipping entsize-based sections
create_fake_symbols() has two phases: creating symbols from
ANNOTATE_DATA_SPECIAL entries, and a fallback that uses sh_entsize for
special sections like .static_call_sites.

When .discard.annotate_data is absent, the function returns early,
skipping the entsize fallback and silently allowing unsupported
module-local static call keys through.

Fix it by jumping to the entsize phase instead of returning early.
