Looks like it segfaults when calling BT_FUNC() for an instruction that
doesn't have a section (?). Applying this patch allows objtool to finish
with --backtrace:

diff --git a/tools/objtool/check.c b/tools/objtool/check.c

insn->jump_dest, state);
if (ret) {
- if (backtrace)
+ if (backtrace && insn->sec)
BT_FUNC("(branch)", insn);
return ret;
}

Running objtool -barfld on an allyesconfig+LTO vmlinux.o prints out the
following, ignoring the crypto warnings for now:
