tools/objtool: Check for use of the ENQCMD instruction in the kernel

The ENQCMD instruction implicitly accesses the PASID_MSR to fill in the
pasid field of the descriptor being submitted to an accelerator. But
there is no precise (and stable across kernel changes) point at which
the PASID_MSR is updated from the value for one task to the next.

Kernel code that uses accelerators must always use the ENQCMDS instruction
which does not access the PASID_MSR.

Check for use of the ENQCMD instruction in the kernel and warn on its
usage.
