bti instruction is removed in release version

When using aarch64-unknown-uefi to build the release version of the efi file, some bti instructions are removed, but there are still indirect jumps to the location of the removed bti instructions, such as'BLR X8'.

I tried this code:

```rust
#![no_main]
#![no_std]

use log::error;
use uefi::prelude::*;

#[entry]
fn main(_image_handle: Handle, mut system_table: SystemTable<Boot>) -> Status {
    uefi_services::init(&mut system_table).unwrap();
    error!("Hello world!"); // A BTI fault occurs here
    Status::SUCCESS
}
```

.cargo/config.toml

```
[build]
rustflags = ["-C", "target-feature=+bti", "-Z", "branch-protection=pac-ret"]
```

Cargo.toml
```
[package]
name = "helloworld"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
log = "0.4.21"
uefi = "0.27.0"
uefi-services = "0.24.0"
```

and i build it :

```
cargo +nightly build -Z build-std=core --target aarch64-unknown-uefi -v --release
```

`rustc --version --verbose`:
```
rustc 1.79.0-nightly (becebb315 2024-04-17)

```

when I run uefi on board, BTI FAULT occurs:

```

 BTI FAULT 
```

When I disassembled the efi file, I found that there was no BTI instruction in place of the malfunctioning function.

The indirect jump function is as follows. I don't remember which BLR X8 instruction jumps to the function above.
