objtool: Fix STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD macro checking for function symbols

Mathieu Desnoyers reported that the STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD macro
wasn't working with the lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode() function in
the lttng-modules code.

Usually the relocation created by STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD creates a
reference to a section symbol like this:

  Offset              Type            Value               Addend Name
  000000000000000000  X86_64_64       000000000000000000   +3136 .text

But in this case it created a reference to a function symbol:

  Offset              Type            Value               Addend Name
  000000000000000000  X86_64_64       0x00000000000003a0      +0 lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode

To be honest I have no idea what causes gcc to decide to do one over the
other.  But both are valid ELF, so add support for the function symbol.
