objtool: Fix weak symbol hole detection for .cold functions
When ignore_unreachable_insn() looks for weak function holes which jump to their .cold functions, it assumes the parent function comes before the corresponding .cold function in the symbol table. That's not necessarily the case with -ffunction-sections. Mark all the holes beforehand (including .cold functions) so the ordering of the discovery doesn't matter.
