Due to the short circuiting logic in next_insn_to_validate(), control flow may silently transition from .altinstr_replacement to .text without a corresponding nested call to validate_branch(). As a result the validate_branch() 'sec' variable doesn't get reinitialized, which can trigger a confusing "unexpected end of section" warning which blames .altinstr_replacement rather than the offending fallthrough function. Fix that by not caching the section. There's no point in doing that anyway.
