Peter Zijlstra dbcdbdfdf1 objtool: Rework instruction -> symbol mapping ...

Currently insn->func contains a instruction -> symbol link for
STT_FUNC symbols. A NULL value is assumed to mean STT_NOTYPE.
However, there are also instructions not covered by any symbol at all.
This can happen due to __weak symbols for example.

Since the current scheme cannot differentiate between no symbol and
STT_NOTYPE symbol, change things around. Make insn->sym point to any
symbol type such that !insn->sym means no symbol and add a helper
insn_func() that check the sym->type to retain the old functionality.

This then prepares the way to add code that depends on the distinction
between STT_NOTYPE and no symbol at all.
