Josh Poimboeuf dd88a0a0c8 objtool: Handle GCC stack pointer adjustment bug
Arnd Bergmann reported the following warning with GCC 7.1.1:

  fs/fs_pin.o: warning: objtool: pin_kill()+0x139: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+88 cfa2=7+96

And the kbuild robot reported the following warnings with GCC 5.4.1:

  fs/fs_pin.o: warning: objtool: pin_kill()+0x182: return with modified stack frame
  fs/quota/dquot.o: warning: objtool: dquot_alloc_inode()+0x140: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+120 cfa2=7+128
  fs/quota/dquot.o: warning: objtool: dquot_free_inode()+0x11a: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+112 cfa2=7+120

Those warnings are caused by an unusual GCC non-optimization where it
uses an intermediate register to adjust the stack pointer.  It does:

  lea    0x8(%rsp), %rcx
  ...
  mov    %rcx, %rsp

Instead of the obvious:

  add    $0x8, %rsp

It makes no sense to use an intermediate register, so I opened a GCC bug
to track it:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81813

But it's not exactly a high-priority bug and it looks like we'll be
stuck with this issue for a while.  So for now we have to track register
values when they're loaded with stack pointer offsets.

This is kind of a big workaround for a tiny problem, but c'est la vie.
I hope to eventually create a GCC plugin to implement a big chunk of
objtool's functionality.  Hopefully at that point we'll be able to
remove of a lot of these GCC-isms from the objtool code.
