objtool: Validate disassembler headers in libopcodes probegrafted
commit 3f2de814c059 ("objtool: Fix libopcodes linking with static libraries") tested for libopcodes availability by linking a test snippet with a forward declaration of disassemble_init_for_target(). However, testing symbol linkage with an extern declaration only verifies the presence of the library (.so/.a) and bypasses checking for development headers (binutils-dev). On systems where libopcodes is present without development headers installed, the probe succeeds, enabling BUILD_DISAS. Subsequent compilation of objtool then fails: fatal error: 'bfd.h' file not found 113 | #include <bfd.h> Additionally, the probe invokes $(HOSTCC) without $(HOSTCFLAGS), ignoring any sysroot or include flags specified for the host compiler. Fix this by including <bfd.h> and <dis-asm.h> directly in the test snippet, passing $(HOSTCFLAGS) so host compiler options are respected, and defining PACKAGE="objtool" to satisfy the configuration check in <bfd.h>.

+ * Test cases for using floating point operations inside a kernel module.

+ * This tests kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() functions, especially
+ * when userland has modified the floating point control registers. The kernel
+ * state might depend on the state set by the userland thread that was active
+ * before a syscall.
+ *
+ * To facilitate the test, this module registers file
+ * /sys/kernel/debug/selftest_helpers/test_fpu, which when read causes a
+ * sequence of floating point operations. If the operations fail, either the
+ * read returns error status or the kernel crashes.
+ * If the operations succeed, the read returns "1\n".
