objtool: Support asm jump tables
Objtool detection of asm jump tables would normally just work, except for the fact that asm retpolines use alternatives. Objtool thinks the alternative code path (a jump to the retpoline) is a sibling call. Don't treat alternative indirect branches as sibling calls when the original instruction has a jump table.
