objtool: Fix _THIS_IP_ detection for cold functions
[ Upstream commit 72178d5d1a38dd185d1db15f177f2d122ef10d9b ]
Cold functions and their non-cold counterparts can use _THIS_IP_ to
reference each other. Don't warn about !ENDBR in that case.
Note that for GCC this is currently irrelevant in light of the following
commit
c27cd083cfb9 ("Compiler attributes: GCC cold function alignment workarounds")
which disabled cold functions in the kernel. However this may still be
possible with Clang.
Fixes several warnings like the following:
