objtool: Fix STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD macro checking for function symbols

Mathieu Desnoyers reported that the STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD macro
wasn't working with the lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode() function in
the lttng-modules code.

Usually the relocation created by STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD creates a
reference to a section symbol like this:

Offset Type Value Addend Name
000000000000000000 X86_64_64 000000000000000000 +3136 .text

But in this case it created a reference to a function symbol:

Offset Type Value Addend Name
000000000000000000 X86_64_64 0x00000000000003a0 +0 lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode

To be honest I have no idea what causes gcc to decide to do one over the
other. But both are valid ELF, so add support for the function symbol.
