objtool: Prevent GCC from merging annotate_unreachable(), take 2

This fixes the following warning with GCC 4.6:

  mm/migrate.o: warning: objtool: migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()+0x71: unreachable instruction

The problem is that the compiler merged identical annotate_unreachable()
inline asm blocks, resulting in a missing 'unreachable' annotation.

This problem happened before, and was partially fixed with:

  3d1e236022cc ("objtool: Prevent GCC from merging annotate_unreachable()")

That commit tried to ensure that each instance of the
annotate_unreachable() inline asm statement has a unique label.  It used
the __LINE__ macro to generate the label number.  However, even the line
number isn't necessarily unique when used in an inline function with
multiple callers (in this case, __alloc_pages_node()'s use of
VM_BUG_ON).
