objtool: Add support for alternatives at the end of a section
Now that the previous patch gave objtool the ability to read retpoline alternatives, it shows a new warning: arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: .entry_trampoline: don't know how to handle alternatives at end of section This is due to the JMP_NOSPEC in entry_SYSCALL_64_trampoline(). Previously, objtool ignored this situation because it wasn't needed, and it would have required a bit of extra code. Now that this case exists, add proper support for it.
