[PATCH v3 1/8] objtool: Limit unreachable warnings to once per function

[Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>]

Unreachable instruction warnings are limited to once per object file.
That no longer makes sense for vmlinux validation, which might have
more unreachable instructions lurking in other places.  Change it to
once per function.

Note this affects some other (much rarer) non-fatal warnings as well.
In general I think one-warning-per-function makes sense, as related
warnings can accumulate quickly and we want to eventually get back to
failing the build with -Werror anyway.
