x86/smpboot: Mark native_play_dead() as __noreturn
native_play_dead() ends by calling the non-returning function hlt_play_dead() and therefore also never returns. The !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU stub version of native_play_dead() unconditionally calls BUG() and does not return either. Add the __noreturn attribute to both function definitions and their declaration to document this behavior and to potentially improve compiler optimizations. Remove the obsolete comment, and add native_play_dead() to the objtool's list of __noreturn functions.
