As a summary, there are three methods:
(1) Only link libstub with vmlinux.o during the final vmlinux link.
(2) Remove the attribute __noreturn for real_kernel_entry() and add while (1).
(3) Ignore "__efistub_" prefix in objtool.

Josh prefers method (1), I prefer method (3) but also accept method
(1) if it is not only specific to loongarch.
