Subject: [PATCH 3/4] x86,objtool: Mark cpu_startup_entry() __noreturn

GCC-8 isn't clever enough to figure out that cpu_start_entry() is a
noreturn while objtool is. This results in code after the call in
start_secondary(). Give GCC a hand so that they all agree on things.

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: start_secondary()+0x10e: unreachable
