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.
