objtool: Support GCC 8's cold subfunctions



GCC 8 moves a lot of unlikely code out of line to "cold" subfunctions in
.text.unlikely.  Properly detect the new subfunctions and treat them as
extensions of the original functions.

This fixes a bunch of warnings like:

  kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: parse_cgroup_root_flags()+0x33: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: cgroup_addrm_files()+0x290: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: cgroup_apply_control_enable()+0x25b: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: rebind_subsystems()+0x325: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
