[RFC PATCH v1 21/23] objtool: Add arch-specific "noreturn" function handling

[Youling Tang]

Fix the following warnings:
arch/loongarch/mm/fault.o: warning: objtool: no_context.part.0() falls through to
next function do_sigsegv()

It should mark 'dead_end' when the function is "noreturn/__noreturn".
