[PATCH 3/3] arm64: Drop the inline assembly implementation of function_nocfi

Drop the inline assembly version of function_nocfi() now that
CONFIG_CFI_CLANG depends on __builtin_function_start(), which allows
this macro to be implemented more cleanly and in a way that works also
with static initializers.
