objtool: Introduce HINT_RET_OFFSET
Normally objtool ensures a function keeps the stack layout invariant. But there is a useful exception, it is possible to stuff the return stack in order to 'inject' a 'call': push $fun ret In this case the invariant mentioned above is violated. Add an objtool HINT to annotate this and allow a function exit with a modified stack frame.
