Arnd, can you test this fix?

Subject: [PATCH] objtool: Another switch table detection fix

Continue the switch table detection whack-a-mole.  Add a check to
distinguish KASAN-related .rodata reads from switch-related .rodata
reads in GCC 7.

This fixes the following warning:

  crypto/asymmetric_keys/x509_cert_parser.o: warning: objtool: x509_note_pkey_algo()+0xa4: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
