objtool: Fix sibling call detection



It turned out that we failed to detect some sibling calls;
specifically those without relocation records; like:

  $ ./objdump-func.sh defconfig-build/mm/kasan/generic.o __asan_loadN
  0000 0000000000000840 <__asan_loadN>:
  0000  840:      48 8b 0c 24             mov    (%rsp),%rcx
  0004  844:      31 d2                   xor    %edx,%edx
  0006  846:      e9 45 fe ff ff          jmpq   690 <check_memory_region>

So extend the cross-function jump to also consider those that are not
between known (or newly detected) parent/child functions, as
sibling-cals when they jump to the start of the function.

The second part of that condition is to deal with random jumps to the
middle of other function, as can be found in
arch/x86/lib/copy_user_64.S for example.

This then (with later patches applied) makes the above recognise the
sibling call:

  mm/kasan/generic.o: warning: objtool: __asan_loadN()+0x6: call to check_memory_region() with UACCESS enabled

Also make sure to set insn->call_dest for sibling calls so we can know
who we're calling. This is useful information when printing validation
warnings later.
