objtool: Fix false positive warnings related to sibling calls
With some configs [1], objtool prints a bunch of false positive warnings like: arch/x86/events/core.o: warning: objtool: x86_del_exclusive()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch For some reason this config has a bunch of sibling calls. When objtool follows a sibling call jump, it attempts to compare the frame pointer state. But it also accidentally compares the FENTRY state, resulting in a false positive warning.
