Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] objtool: Add support for C jump tables

Objtool doesn't know how to read C jump tables, so it has to whitelist
functions which use them, causing missing ORC unwinder data for such
functions, e.g. ___bpf_prog_run().

C jump tables are very similar to GCC switch jump tables, which objtool
already knows how to read.  So adding support for C jump tables is easy.
It just needs to be able to find the tables and distinguish them from
other data.

To allow the jump tables to be found, create a standard: objtool will
automatically recognize any static local jump table named "jump_table".
