[PATCH v2 11/14] objtool: Remove too strict constraint in jump table search

[Christophe Leroy]

In code there is often a pattern like:

	load jump table address
	do some test
	conditional jump to label1:
	do something
	unconditional jump to label2:
label1:
	do something else
	read jump table
	dynamic jump
label2:
	do other job here ....

find_jump_table() contains a constraint that stops the backsearch
of the table address loading when a jump is found in-between.

Remove that constraint.
