[ Upstream commit be8374a5ba7cbab6b97df94b4ffe0b92f5c8a6d2 ]

The objtool command line 'objtool --hacks=jump_label foo.o' on its own
should be expected to rewrite jump labels to NOPs. This means the
add_special_section_alts() code path needs to run when only this option
is provided.

This is mainly relevant in certain debugging situations, but could
potentially also fix kernel builds in which objtool is run with
--hacks=jump_label but without --orc, --stackval, --uaccess, or
--hacks=noinstr.
