[PATCH 2/2] objtool: Fix IBT tail-call detection

Objtool reports:

arch/x86/crypto/poly1305-x86_64.o: warning: objtool: poly1305_blocks_avx() falls through to next function poly1305_blocks_x86_64()
arch/x86/crypto/poly1305-x86_64.o: warning: objtool: poly1305_emit_avx() falls through to next function poly1305_emit_x86_64()
arch/x86/crypto/poly1305-x86_64.o: warning: objtool: poly1305_blocks_avx2() falls through to next function poly1305_blocks_x86_64()

Which reads like:

0000000000000040 <poly1305_blocks_x86_64>:
40: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64
...

0000000000000400 <poly1305_blocks_avx>:
400: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64
404: 44 8b 47 14 mov 0x14(%rdi),%r8d
408: 48 81 fa 80 00 00 00 cmp $0x80,%rdx
40f: 73 09 jae 41a <poly1305_blocks_avx+0x1a>
411: 45 85 c0 test %r8d,%r8d
414: 0f 84 2a fc ff ff je 44 <poly1305_blocks_x86_64+0x4>
...

These are simple conditional tail-calls and *should* be recognised as
such by objtool, however due to a mistake in commit 08f87a93c8ec
("objtool: Validate IBT assumptions") this is failing.

Specifically, the jump_dest is +4, this means the instruction pointed
at will not be ENDBR and as such it will fail the second clause of
is_first_func_insn() that was supposed to capture this exact case.

Instead, have is_first_func_insn() look at the previous instruction.
