[PATCH v14 12/24] x86/reboot: Add ljmp instructions to stacktool whitelist

[Josh Poimboeuf]

stacktool reports a false positive warning for the ljmp instruction in
machine_real_restart().  Normally, ljmp isn't allowed in a function, but
this is a special case where it's jumping into real mode.

Add the jumps to a whitelist which tells stacktool to ignore them.
