objtool: Track original function across branches
If 'insn->func' is NULL, objtool skips some important checks, including sibling call validation. So if some .fixup code does an invalid sibling call, objtool ignores it. Treat all code branches (including alts) as part of the original function by keeping track of the original func value from validate_functions(). This improves the usefulness of some clang function fallthrough warnings, and exposes some additional kernel bugs in the process.
