objtool: Don't use ignore flag for fake jumps
The ignore flag is set on fake jumps in order to keep add_jump_destinations() from setting their jump_dest, since it already got set when the fake jump was created. But using the ignore flag is a bit of a hack. It's normally used to skip validation of an instruction, which doesn't really make sense for fake jumps. Also, after the next patch, using the ignore flag for fake jumps can trigger a false "why am I validating an ignored function?" warning. Instead just add an explicit check in add_jump_destinations() to skip fake jumps.
