objtool: Always fail on fatal errors

Objtool writes several object annotations which are used to enable
critical kernel runtime functionalities like static calls and
retpoline/rethunk patching.

In the rare case where it fails to read or write an object, the
annotations don't get written, causing runtime code patching to fail and
code to become corrupted.

Due to the catastrophic nature of such warnings, convert them to errors
which fail the build regardless of CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR.
