objtool/x86: objtool can confuse memory and stack access

The encoding of an x86 instruction can include a ModR/M and a SIB
(Scale-Index-Base) byte to describe the addressing mode of the
instruction.

objtool processes all addressing mode with a SIB base of 5 as having
%rbp as the base register. However, a SIB base of 5 means that the
effective address has either no base (if ModR/M mod is zero) or %rbp
as the base (if ModR/M mod is 1 or 2). This can cause objtool to confuse
an absolute address access with a stack operation.

For example, objtool will see the following instruction:

 4c 8b 24 25 e0 ff ff    mov    0xffffffffffffffe0,%r12

as a stack operation (i.e. similar to: mov -0x20(%rbp), %r12).

[Note that this kind of weird absolute address access is added by the
 compiler when using KASAN.]

If this perceived stack operation happens to reference the location
where %r12 was pushed on the stack then the objtool validation will
think that %r12 is being restored and this can cause a stack state
mismatch.

This kind behavior was seen on xfs code, after a minor change (convert
kmem_alloc() to kmalloc()):

>> fs/xfs/xfs.o: warning: objtool: xfs_da_grow_inode_int+0x6c1: stack state mismatch: reg1[12]=-2-48 reg2[12]=-1+0
