objtool: Support new GCC 6 switch jump table pattern

This fixes some false positive objtool warnings seen with gcc 6.1.1:

  kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o: warning: objtool: ring_buffer_read_page()+0x36c: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
  arch/x86/kernel/reboot.o: warning: objtool: native_machine_emergency_restart()+0x139: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
  lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.o: warning: objtool: xz_dec_run()+0xc2: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer

With GCC 6, a new code pattern is sometimes used to access a switch
statement jump table in .rodata, which objtool doesn't yet recognize:

  mov [rodata addr],%reg1
  ... some instructions ...
  jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8)

Add support for detecting that pattern.  The detection code is rather
crude, but it's still effective at weeding out false positives and
catching real warnings.  It can be refined later once objtool starts
reading DWARF CFI.

+ * find_switch_table() - Given a dynamic jump, find the switch jump table in
+ * .rodata associated with it.
+ *
+ * There are 3 basic patterns:
+ *
+ * 1. jmpq *[rodata addr](,%reg,8)
+ *
+ *    This is the most common case by far.  It jumps to an address in a simple
+ *    jump table which is stored in .rodata.
+ *
+ * 2. jmpq *[rodata addr](%rip)
+ *
+ *    This is caused by a rare GCC quirk, currently only seen in three driver
+ *    functions in the kernel, only with certain obscure non-distro configs.
+ *
+ *    As part of an optimization, GCC makes a copy of an existing switch jump
+ *    table, modifies it, and then hard-codes the jump (albeit with an indirect
+ *    jump) to use a single entry in the table.  The rest of the jump table and
+ *    some of its jump targets remain as dead code.
+ *
+ *    In such a case we can just crudely ignore all unreachable instruction
+ *    warnings for the entire object file.  Ideally we would just ignore them
+ *    for the function, but that would require redesigning the code quite a
+ *    bit.  And honestly that's just not worth doing: unreachable instruction
+ *    warnings are of questionable value anyway, and this is such a rare issue.
+ *
+ * 3. mov [rodata addr],%reg1
+ *    ... some instructions ...
+ *    jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8)
+ *
+ *    This is a fairly uncommon pattern which is new for GCC 6.  As of this
+ *    writing, there are 11 occurrences of it in the allmodconfig kernel.
+ *
+ *    TODO: Once we have DWARF CFI and smarter instruction decoding logic,
+ *    ensure the same register is used in the mov and jump instructions.
