Subject: [PATCH 1/9] objtool: do not assume order of parent/child functions
If a .cold function is examined prior to it's parent, the link
to the parent/child function can be overwritten when the parent
is examined. Only update pfunc and cfunc if they were previously
nil to prevent this from happening.
