Yeah, as you had mentioned
(https://github.com/kernelci/kernelci-project/issues/84#issuecomment-1042015431):

CFI_FORWARD_PROTO is going to fail unless there is an active CFI system
in place of some kind. Right now this depends on arm64+Clang. In the
future, this will be arch-agnostic+Clang, but for the moment, it should
be safe to exclude this test.

In this patch, I'm turning off CFI_FORWARD_PROTO by default here. We can
re-enable it when it becomes arch agnostic. CFI_FORWARD_PROTO cannot be
turned off by using a config. Please let me know your thoughts otherwise.
