<title>objtool/rust: add one more `noreturn` Rust function</title>

<id>cee6f9a9c87b6ecfb51845950c28216b231c3610</id>
<content type='text'>
Starting with Rust 1.85.0 (currently in beta, to be released 2025-02-20),
under some kernel configurations with `CONFIG_RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y`,
one may trigger a new `objtool` warning:

    rust/kernel.o: warning: objtool: _R...securityNtB2_11SecurityCtx8as_bytes()
    falls through to next function _R...core3ops4drop4Drop4drop()

due to a call to the `noreturn` symbol:

    core::panicking::assert_failed::&lt;usize, usize&gt;

Thus add it to the list so that `objtool` knows it is actually `noreturn`.
Do so matching with `strstr` since it is a generic.

See commit 56d680dd23c3 ("objtool/rust: list `noreturn` Rust functions")
for more details.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # Needed in 6.12.y and 6.13.y only (Rust is pinned in older LTSs).

The lld.ld borkage is fixed in the latest llvm release (?) but will
not be backported, meaning we're stuck with broken linker for a fair
while.

Lets not spam all clang build logs and move warning to verbose.

bch2_trans_unlocked_error() is an Obviously Correct (tm) panic() wrapper,
