objtool: Fix function fallthrough detection
When a function falls through to the next function due to a compiler
bug, objtool prints some obscure warnings. For example:
drivers/regulator/core.o: warning: objtool: regulator_count_voltages()+0x95: return with modified stack frame
drivers/regulator/core.o: warning: objtool: regulator_count_voltages()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+32 cfa2=7+8
Instead it should be printing:
drivers/regulator/core.o: warning: objtool: regulator_supply_is_couple() falls through to next function regulator_count_voltages()
This used to work, but was broken by the following commit:
13810435b9a7 ("objtool: Support GCC 8's cold subfunctions")
The padding nops at the end of a function aren't actually part of the
function, as defined by the symbol table. So the 'func' variable in
validate_branch() is getting cleared to NULL when a padding nop is
encountered, breaking the fallthrough detection.
If the current instruction doesn't have a function associated with it,
just consider it to be part of the previously detected function by not
overwriting the previous value of 'func'.
