objtool/klp: Test a hand-built livepatch module's static call keys

__SCK__* static call keys are not exported; modules are given read-only
access at load time.  Livepatch modules built by klp-build do have full
access to theirs, and commit 164c9201e1da ("objtool: Add base objtool
support for livepatch modules") added a check on that basis -- but a
livepatch module can also be written by hand, as everything under
samples/livepatch is, and such a module hits an unexported key as soon as
it does anything expanding to a static call.  With
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG that includes allocating memory, which is
how livepatch-shadow-fix1 came to fail to build.

Cover it, with the plain module as a control: it takes the same path and
has always been accepted, so a test that built only the livepatch variant
could not tell this fix from the check being deleted.

This is objtool's ordinary check pass rather than a klp subcommand, which
is the first test here to exercise it -- and is the point, since that pass
is what runs over a hand-built livepatch module during a normal kernel
build.

Verified by reverting commit f495054bd12e ("objtool/klp: Fix unexported
static call key access for manually built livepatch modules"): objtool
reports "can't find static_call_key symbol: __SCK__klp_test_call" and the
test fails, under both gcc and clang.
