I'd recommend also adding it to the objtool global_noreturns list,
otherwise this patch will probably trigger warnings with other non-IBT
configs, in cases where the function is called from another translation
unit, where GCC knows the function is noreturn but objtool doesn't.

We're looking at ways of eliminating global_noreturns, but it's
unfortunately still a necessary evil at this point.

Also, FWIW, I have a change coming soon which make these warnings much
easier to diagnose.
