objtool: Ignore end-of-section jumps for KCOV/GCOV
When KCOV or GCOV is enabled, dead code can be left behind, in which
case objtool silences unreachable and undefined behavior (fallthrough)
warnings.
Fallthrough warnings, and their variant "end of section" warnings, were
silenced with the following commit:
6b023c784204 ("objtool: Silence more KCOV warnings")
Another variant of a fallthrough warning is a jump to the end of a
function. If that function happens to be at the end of a section, the
jump destination doesn't actually exist.
Normally that would be a fatal objtool error, but for KCOV/GCOV it's
just another undefined behavior fallthrough. Silence it like the
others.
Fixes the following warning:
drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.o: warning: objtool: iommu_dma_sw_msi+0x92: can't find jump dest instruction at .text+0x54d5
Fixes: 6b023c784204 ("objtool: Silence more KCOV warnings")
