[PATCH RFC 3/8] compiler_types: Let notrace keep the function prefix NOPs

["Jose Fernandez (Anthropic)" <jose.fernandez@linux.dev>]

Let notrace keep the prefix NOPs when the architecture defines
CC_USING_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_PREFIX. kCFI callers check the type hash
at a fixed offset before the entry point, so a notrace function needs
the same prefix NOPs as any other. Record the entry in a section the
linker drops, so ftrace never sees it. Clang 21 takes a section name
as a third argument of the attribute. Nothing defines the macro yet,
so no functional change.
