[PATCH v4 10/15] objtool: When looking for switch tables also follow conditional and dynamic jumps

When walking backward to find the base address of a switch table,
also take into account conditionnal branches and dynamic jumps from
a previous switch table.

To avoid mis-routing, break when stumbling on a function return.
