Since objtool's inception, frame pointer warnings have been manually
silenced for __arch_hweight*() to allow those functions' inline asm to
avoid using ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT.
The potentially dubious reasoning for that decision over nine years ago
was that since !X86_FEATURE_POPCNT is exceedingly rare, it's not worth
hurting the code layout for a function call that will never happen on
the vast majority of systems.
However, those functions actually started using ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT with
the following commit:
194a613088a8 ("x86/hweight: Use ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT in inline asm()")
And rightfully so, as it makes the code correct. ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT
will soon have no effect for non-FP configs anyway.
With ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT in place, ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE no longer
has a purpose for the hweight functions. Remove it.
