Subject: [PATCH 4/4] objtool: Fix function fallthrough detection for vmlinux

Objtool's function fallthrough detection only works on C objects.
The distinction between C and assembly objects no longer makes sense
with objtool running on vmlinux.o.

Now that copy_user_64.S has been fixed up, and an objtool sibling call
detection bug has been fixed, the asm code is in "compliance" and this
hack is no longer needed.  Remove it.
