Subject: [PATCH v6 04/16] powerpc: Curb objtool unannotated intra-function call warnings

objtool throws the following unannotated intra-function call warnings:
arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x4: unannotated intra-function call
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.o: warning: objtool: .text+0xe64: unannotated intra-function call
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.o: warning: objtool: .text+0xee4: unannotated intra-function call

Fix these warnings by annotating intra-function calls, using
ANNOTATE_INTRA_FUNCTION_CALL macro, to indicate that the branch targets
are valid.
