[PATCH] objtool: Improve rate-limiting for missing __noreturn warnings

[Josh Poimboeuf]

If a function with a lot of call sites is missing __noreturn, it could
result in a lot of duplicate warnings (one for each call site).

Each call site's function is already rate-limited to one warning per
function via WARN_INSN().  Do the same for the callee (the "missing
__noreturn" function itself).
