[PATCH v4 10/11] tools/objtool: Check for use of the ENQCMD instruction in the kernel

The ENQCMD implicitly accesses the PASID_MSR to fill in the pasid field
of the descriptor being submitted to an accelerator. But there is no
precise (and stable across kernel changes) point at which the PASID_MSR
is updated from the value for one task to the next.

Kernel code that uses accelerators must always use the ENQCMDS instruction
which does not access the PASID_MSR.

Check for use of the ENQCMD instruction in the kernel and warn on its
usage.
