Now that all functions are 16 byte aligned, add 16 bytes of NOP
padding in front of each function. This prepares things for software
call stack tracking and kCFI/FineIBT.
This significantly increases kernel .text size, around 5.1% on a
x86_64-defconfig-ish build.
However, per the random access argument used for alignment, these 16
extra bytes are code that wouldn't be used. Performance measurements
back this up by showing no significant performance regressions.
