It turns out that while syscall_regfunc() does have an ENDBR when
generated, it gets sealed by objtool's .ibt_endbr_seal list.

Since the only text references to this function:

  $ git grep syscall_regfunc
  include/linux/tracepoint.h:extern int syscall_regfunc(void);
  include/trace/events/syscalls.h:        syscall_regfunc, syscall_unregfunc
  include/trace/events/syscalls.h:        syscall_regfunc, syscall_unregfunc
  kernel/tracepoint.c:int syscall_regfunc(void)

appear in the __tracepoint section which is excluded by objtool.
