Subject: objtool: Fix IRET's opcode

From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>


[ Upstream commit b5b46c4740aed1538544f0fa849c5b76c7823469 ]

The IRET opcode is 0xcf according to the Intel manual and also to objdump of my
vmlinux:

    1ea8:       48 cf                   iretq

Fix the opcode in arch_decode_instruction().

The previous value (0xc5) seems to correspond to LDS.
