[PATCH 13/22] objtool: Refactor function alias logic

[Josh Poimboeuf]

- Add an alias check in validate_functions().  With this change, aliases
  no longer need uaccess_safe set.

- Add an alias check in decode_instructions().  With this change, the
  "if (!insn->func)" check is no longer needed.

- Don't create aliases for zero-length functions, as it can have
  unexpected results.  The next patch will spit out a warning for
  zero-length functions anyway.
