objtool: Fix sibling call detection logic
With some configs, objtool reports the following warning: arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.o: warning: objtool: ftrace_modify_code_direct()+0x2d: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame The instruction it's complaining about isn't actually a sibling call. It's just a normal jump to an address inside the function. Objtool thought it was a sibling call because the instruction's jump_dest wasn't initialized because the function was supposed to be ignored due to its use of sync_core(). Objtool ended up validating the function instead of ignoring it because it didn't properly recognize a sibling call to the function. So fix the sibling call logic. Also add a warning to catch ignored functions being validated so we'll get a more useful error message next time.
