Subject: [PATCH 4.9 085/125] objtool: Fix switch table detection in .text.unlikely

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@...hat.com>

commit b401efc120a399dfda1f4d2858a4de365c9b08ef upstream.

If a switch jump table's indirect branch is in a ".cold" subfunction in
.text.unlikely, objtool doesn't detect it, and instead prints a false
warning:

  drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.o: warning: objtool: v4l_print_format.cold()+0xd6: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  drivers/hwmon/max6650.o: warning: objtool: max6650_probe.cold()+0xa5: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  drivers/media/dvb-frontends/drxk_hard.o: warning: objtool: init_drxk.cold()+0x16f: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

Fix it by comparing the function, instead of the section and offset.

Fixes: 13810435b9a7 ("objtool: Support GCC 8's cold subfunctions")
