objtool: Skip unreachable warnings for GCC 4.4 and older

The kbuild bot occasionally reports warnings like: drivers/scsi/pcmcia/aha152x_core.o: warning: objtool: seldo_run()+0x130: unreachable instruction These warnings are always with GCC 4.4. That version of GCC sometimes places unreachable instructions after calls to noreturn functions. The unreachable warnings aren't very important anyway. Just ignore them for old versions of GCC.
