[RFC][PATCH 2/6] objtool: Fix static_call list generation

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Fri Feb 19 2021 - 16:13:26 EST


Currently objtool generates tail call entries in
add_jump_destination() but waits until validate_branch() to generate
the regular call entries, move these to add_call_destination() for
consistency.
