objtool, xen: Fix INSN_SYSCALL / INSN_SYSRET semantics
Objtool uses an arbitrary rule for INSN_SYSCALL and INSN_SYSRET that almost works by accident: if it's in a function, control flow continues after the instruction, otherwise it terminates. That behavior should instead be based on the semantics of the underlying instruction. Change INSN_SYSCALL to always preserve control flow and INSN_SYSRET to always terminate it. The changed semantic for INSN_SYSCALL requires a tweak to the !CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION version of xen_entry_SYSCALL_compat(). In Xen, SYSCALL is a hypercall which usually returns. But in this case it's a hypercall to IRET which doesn't return. Add UD2 to tell objtool to terminate control flow, and to prevent undefined behavior at runtime.
