objtool: Optimize add_dead_ends for split sections

Instead of iterating through all instructions to find the last
instruction each time .rela.discard.(un)reachable points beyond the
section, use find_insn() to locate the last instruction by looking at
the last bytes of the section instead.

This makes processing a -ffunction-sections vmlinux.o faster.
