objtool: Allow alternatives to be ignored
commit 258c76059cece01bebae098e81bacb1af2edad17 upstream.
Getting objtool to understand retpolines is going to be a bit of a
challenge. For now, take advantage of the fact that retpolines are
patched in with alternatives. Just read the original (sane)
non-alternative instruction, and ignore the patched-in retpoline.
This allows objtool to understand the control flow *around* the
retpoline, even if it can't yet follow what's inside. This means the
ORC unwinder will fail to unwind from inside a retpoline, but will work
fine otherwise.
