  fd35c88b ("objtool: Support GCC 8 switch tables")

I added a "can't find switch jump table" warning, to stop covering up
silent failures if add_switch_table() can't find anything.

That warning found yet another bug in the objtool switch table detection
logic.  For cases 1 and 2 (as described in the comments of
find_switch_table()), the find_symbol_containing() check doesn't adjust
the offset for RIP-relative switch jumps.

Incidentally, this bug was already fixed for case 3 with:

  6f5ec299 ("objtool: Detect RIP-relative switch table references")

However, that commit missed the fix for cases 1 and 2.

The different cases are now starting to look more and more alike.  So
fix the bug by consolidating them into a single case, by checking the
original dynamic jump instruction in the case 3 loop.

This also simplifies the code and makes it more robust against future
switch table detection issues -- of which I'...
