Subject: objtool: Print top level commands on incorrect usage

From: Kamalesh Babulal <kamalesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 6a93bb7e4a7d6670677d5b0eb980936eb9cc5d2e upstream.

Print top-level objtool commands, along with the error on incorrect
command line usage. Objtool command line parser exit's with code 129,
for incorrect usage. Convert the cmd_usage() exit code also, to maintain
consistency across objtool.

After the patch:

  $ ./objtool -j

  Unknown option: -j

  usage: objtool COMMAND [ARGS]

  Commands:
     check   Perform stack metadata validation on an object file
     orc     Generate in-place ORC unwind tables for an object file

  $ echo $?
  129
