For stack-validation of a frame-pointer build, objtool validates that
every CALL instructions is preceded by a frame-setup. The new SRSO
return thunks violate this with their RSB stuffing trickery.

Extend the __fentry__ exception to also cover the embedded_insn case
used for this. This cures:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: srso_untrain_ret+0xd: call without frame pointer save/setup
