Miguel Ojeda 993f235c4a objtool/rust: add one more noreturn Rust function
When the pointer formatting series [1] is applied and KUnit tests
are enabled, `objtool` would report an error with any of our
supported Rust versions. For instance, with Rust 1.97.1:

    rust/kernel.o: error: objtool: _R..._4core3fmt7Pointer3fmtB7_()
    falls through to next function _R..._4core7convert5AsRefNtB5_4BStrE6as_ref()

Or, with Rust 1.85.0:

    rust/kernel.o: error: objtool: _R..._4core3fmt7Pointer3fmtB7_()
    falls through to next function _R..._4core3ffi5c_str4CStrENtNtBS_3fmt7Display3fmtB7_()

This happens due to calls to the `noreturn` symbol:

    core::str::slice_error_fail

Thus add the mangled one to the list so that `objtool` knows it is
actually `noreturn`.

See commit 56d680dd23 ("objtool/rust: list `noreturn` Rust functions")
for more details.

[ While the series [1] mentioned above was not applied in a way
  that triggered this, Gary found another case [2]:

    I am seeing this function causing issue on my 1.85.1 -Os build, although the
    error message is different this time:

        rust/kernel.o: warning: objtool: _R..._5range9RangeFromjEE5indexCsldbe0TGTmNx_6kernel+0x1d:
        stack state mismatch: cfa1=4+8 cfa2=4+16

    Disassembly shows that the function call before the warning location
    is a call to _4core3str16slice_error_fail, and objtool thought it can
    return (which will end up with a unbalanced stack if it does return).

  Thus apply it. - Miguel ]
