[PATCH 27/27] objtool: Warn about missing/stale ANNOTATE_EXPORTED_NORETURN() usage

Add some warnings to keep ANNOTATE_EXPORTED_NORETURN() annotations
correct.

+13. file.o: warning: objtool: func() is exported and noreturn, its declaration needs __noreturn and ANNOTATE_EXPORTED_NORETURN()
+
+    func() is exported and never returns, but is defined in a module, so
+    its noreturn status needs to be manually annotated.  Put an
+    ANNOTATE_EXPORTED_NORETURN() next to its declaration.
+
+    Mark the declaration __noreturn while you're there, if it isn't
+    already.  The two go together: __noreturn stops the compiler from
+    emitting code after the call, and the annotation tells objtool the
+    call doesn't return.
+
+
+14. file.o: warning: objtool: func() has ANNOTATE_EXPORTED_NORETURN() but returns
+
+    func() is annotated as never returning, but it does.  Usually this
+    means the annotation outlived the fact: the function grew a return path
+    and the ANNOTATE_EXPORTED_NORETURN() next to its declaration was left
+    behind.  Remove it, along with the __noreturn.
+
+
 If the error doesn't seem to make sense, it could be a bug in objtool.
 Feel free to ask objtool maintainers for help.
