x86/ibt: Suppress spurious ENDBR
It was reported that under certain circumstances GCC emits ENDBR instructions for _THIS_IP_ usage. Specifically, when it appears at the start of a basic block -- but not elsewhere. Since _THIS_IP_ is never used for control flow, these ENDBR instructions are completely superfluous. Override the _THIS_IP_ definition for x86_64 to avoid this. Less ENDBR instructions is better.
