objtool/klp: Fix is_uncorrelated_static_local() for Clang

For naming function-local static locals, GCC uses <var>.<id>, e.g.
__already_done.15, while Clang uses <func>.<var> with optional .<id>,
e.g. create_worker.__already_done.111

The existing is_uncorrelated_static_local() check only matches the GCC
convention where the variable name is a prefix.  Handle both cases by
checking for a prefix match (GCC) and by checking after the first dot
separator (Clang).
