[PATCH v2] objtool: ignore unreachable trap after call to noreturn functions

[Ilie Halip]

With CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP enabled, the compiler may insert a trap instruction
after a call to a noreturn function. In this case, objtool warns that the
ud2 instruction is unreachable.

This is a behavior seen with clang, from the oldest version capable of
building the mainline x64_64 kernel (9.0), to the latest experimental
version (12.0).

objtool silences similar warnings (trap after dead end instructions), so
so expand that check to include dead end functions.
