Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 18/27] objtool: Ignore unwind hints for ignored functions

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

If a function is ignored, also ignore its hints.  This is useful for the
case where the function ignore is conditional on frame pointers, e.g.
STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD_FP().
