objtool: Fix another GCC jump table detection issue

Browse Source 
commit 5c51f4ae84df0f9df33ac08aa5be50061a8b4242 upstream.

Arnd Bergmann reported a (false positive) objtool warning:

  drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_responder()+0xfe: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer

The issue is in find_switch_table().  It tries to find a switch
statement's jump table by walking backwards from an indirect jump
instruction, looking for a relocation to the .rodata section.  In this
case it stopped walking prematurely: the first .rodata relocation it
encountered was for a variable (resp_state_name) instead of a jump
table, so it just assumed there wasn't a jump table.

The fix is to ignore any .rodata relocation which refers to an ELF
object symbol.  This works because the jump tables are anonymous and
have no symbols associated with them.
