objtool,x86: Teach decode about LOOP* instructions
When 'discussing' control flow Masami mentioned the LOOP* instructions and I realized objtool doesn't decode them properly. As it turns out, these instructions are somewhat inefficient and as such unlikely to be emitted by the compiler (a few vmlinux.o checks can't find a single one) so this isn't critical, but still, best to decode them properly.
