objtool: Improve rare switch jump table pattern detection

GCC 6 added a new switch statement jump table optimization which makes
objtool's life harder.  It looks like:

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

The optimization is quite rare, but objtool still needs to be able to
identify the pattern so that it can follow all possible control flow
paths related to the switch statement.

In order to detect the pattern, objtool starts from the indirect jump
and scans backwards through the function until it finds the first
instruction in the pattern.  If it encounters an unconditional jump
along the way, it stops and considers the pattern to be not found.

As it turns out, unconditional jumps can happen, as long as they are
small forward jumps within the range being scanned.

This fixes the following warnings:

  drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_comp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_completer()+0x2f4: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
  drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_responder()+0x10f: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
