[PATCH v2 07/10] objtool: check: Allow save/restore hint in non standard function symbols

The kernel code base provides CODE_SYM_START/END to declare assembly
code sequences that don't follow function standard calling conventions.

As non-C/non-standard code, these sequences can very much benefit from
unwind hints. However, when a restore unwind_hint is used in a
non-function code sequence, objtool will crash when looking for the
corresponding save hint.

Record the code symbol an instruction belongs to and look for save hints
belonging to the same code symbol as the restore hint.
