Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Most of the changes are cleanups and reorganization to make the
  objtool code more arch-agnostic. This is in preparation for non-x86
  support.

  Other changes:

   - KASAN fixes

   - Handle unreachable trap after call to noreturn functions better

   - Ignore unreachable fake jumps

   - Misc smaller fixes & cleanups"
