objtool: Ignore empty alternatives

[ Upstream commit 7170cf47d16f1ba29eca07fd818870b7af0a93a5 ]

The .alternatives section can contain entries with no original
instructions. Objtool will currently crash when handling such an entry.

Just skip that entry, but still give a warning to discourage useless
entries.
