[PATCH 4/5] objtool: Add per-function rate limiting for unreachable warnings

[Josh Poimboeuf]

Unreachable instruction warnings are rate limited to once per object
file.  That no longer makes sense for vmlinux validation, which might
have other unreachable instructions lurking in other places.  Change it
to once per function.
