Ingo reported an infinite loop in objtool with a certain randconfig [1].
With the given config, two functions in crypto/ablkcipher.o contained
sibling calls to each other, which threw the recursive call in
dead_end_function() for a loop (literally!).
Split the noreturn detection into two passes. In the first pass, check
for return instructions. In the second pass, do the potentially
recursive sibling call check. In most cases, the first pass will be
good enough. In the rare case where a second pass is needed, recursion
should hopefully no longer be possible.
