objtool: Add missing endian conversion to read_annotate()
Trying to compile an x86 kernel on big endian results in this error:
net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.o: warning: objtool: iptable_nat_table_init+0x150: Unknown annotation type: 50331648
make[5]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:287: net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.o] Error 255
Reason is a missing endian conversion in read_annotate().
Add the missing conversion to fix this.
Fixes: 2116b349e29a ("objtool: Generic annotation infrastructure")
