Subject: [PATCH V2 2/9] objtool: UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET should not check registers

UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET will adjust a modified stack. However if a
callee-saved register was pushed on the stack then the stack frame
will still appear modified. So stop checking registers when
UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET is used.
