[PATCH v2 07/11] objtool: Include weak functions in global_noreturns check

[Josh Poimboeuf]

If a global function doesn't return, and its prototype has the
__noreturn attribute, its weak counterpart must also not return so that
it matches the prototype and meets call site expectations.

To properly follow the compiled control flow at the call sites, change
the global_noreturns check to include both global and weak functions.

On the other hand, if a weak function isn't in global_noreturns, assume
the prototype doesn't have __noreturn.  Even if the weak function
doesn't return, call sites treat it like a returnable function.

Fixes the following warning:

  kernel/sched/build_policy.o: warning: objtool: do_idle() falls through to next function play_idle_precise()
