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.
