x86/traps: Make exc_double_fault() consistently noreturn

[ Upstream commit 8085fcd78c1a3dbdf2278732579009d41ce0bc4e ]

The CONFIG_X86_ESPFIX64 version of exc_double_fault() can return to its
caller, but the !CONFIG_X86_ESPFIX64 version never does.  In the latter
case the compiler and/or objtool may consider it to be implicitly
noreturn.

However, due to the currently inflexible way objtool detects noreturns,
a function's noreturn status needs to be consistent across configs.

The current workaround for this issue is to suppress unreachable
warnings for exc_double_fault()'s callers.  Unfortunately that can
result in ORC coverage gaps and potentially worse issues like inert
static calls and silently disabled CPU mitigations.

Instead, prevent exc_double_fault() from ever being implicitly marked
noreturn by forcing a return behind a never-taken conditional.

Until a more integrated noreturn detection method exists, this is likely
the least objectionable workaround.
