Subject: [for-next][PATCH 01/25] objtool: Add vpanic() to the noreturn list

From: Nam Cao <namcao@...utronix.de>

vpanic() does not return. However, objtool doesn't know this and gets
confused:
kernel/trace/rv/reactor_panic.o: warning: objtool: rv_panic_reaction(): unexpected end of section .text

Add vpanic() to the list of noreturn functions.
