objtool: Support GCC 8 switch tables



With GCC 8, some issues were found with the objtool switch table
detection.

1) In the .rodata section, immediately after the switch table, there can
   be another object which contains a pointer to the function which had
   the switch statement.  In this case objtool wrongly considers the
   function pointer to be part of the switch table.  Fix it by:

   a) making sure there are no pointers to the beginning of the
      function; and

   b) making sure there are no gaps in the switch table.

   Only the former was needed, the latter adds additional protection for
   future optimizations.

2) In find_switch_table(), case 1 and case 2 are missing the check to
   ensure that the .rodata switch table data is anonymous, i.e. that it
   isn't already associated with an ELF symbol.  Fix it by adding the
   same find_symbol_containing() check which is used for case 3.

This fixes the following warnings with GCC 8:

  drivers/block/virtio_blk.o: warning: objtool: virtio_queue_rq()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+8 cfa2=7+72
  net/ipv6/icmp.o: warning: objtool: icmpv6_rcv()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+8 cfa2=7+64
