[PATCH v5 33/33] objtool: revert c_file fallthrough detection for arm64

'commit 08feafe8d195 ("objtool: Fix function fallthrough detection for vmlinux")'
This commit canceled c_file which used to make fallthrough detection
only works on C objects.

However in arm64/crypto/aes-mods.S, there are cases that JUMP at the
end of function which make objtool wrongly detected them as fall through.

Revert c_file before this is fixed.
