objtool: Support GCC 8 '-fnoreorder-functions'

Since the following commit:

  cd77849a ("objtool: Fix GCC 8 cold subfunction detection for aliased functions")

... if the kernel is built with EXTRA_CFLAGS='-fno-reorder-functions',
objtool can get stuck in an infinite loop.

That flag causes the new GCC 8 cold subfunctions to be placed in .text
instead of .text.unlikely.  But it also has an unfortunate quirk: in the
symbol table, the subfunction (e.g., nmi_panic.cold.7) is nested inside
the parent (nmi_panic).

That function overlap confuses objtool, and causes it to get into an
infinite loop in next_insn_same_func().  Here's Allan's description of
the loop:

  "Objtool iterates through the instructions in nmi_panic using
  next_insn_same_func. Once it reaches the end of nmi_panic at 0x534 it
  jumps to 0x528 as that's the start of nmi_panic.cold.7. However, since
  the instructions starting at 0x528 are still associated with nmi_panic
  objtool will get stuck in a loop, continually jumping back to 0x528
  after reaching 0x534."

Fix it by shortening the length of the parent function so that the
functions no longer overlap.
