Recently objtool has started reporting a few "unreachable instruction" warnings when CONFIG_GCOV is enabled for newer versions of GCC. Usually this warning means there's some new control flow that objtool doesn't understand. But in this case, objtool is correct and the instructions really are inaccessible. It's an annoying quirk of gcov, but it's harmless, so it's ok to just silence the warnings. With older versions of GCC, it was relatively easy to detect gcov-specific instructions and to skip any unreachable warnings produced by them. But GCC 6 has gotten craftier. Instead of continuing to play whack-a-mole with gcov, just use a bigger, more permanent hammer and disable unreachable warnings for the whole file when gcov is enabled. This is fine to do because a) unreachable warnings are usually of questionable value; and b) gcov isn't used for production kernels and we can relax the checks a bit there.
