objtool/klp: Add test for newly introduced functions

A function added by the patch has no original to correlate against, and
still has to be carried into the livepatch or the changed caller ends up
referencing something which does not exist.

The helper is noinline so the case survives the optimiser; otherwise the
compiler folds it into its only caller and the test covers nothing.
