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.
