This patch suppresses warning messages for infinite loops if the
loop has a call with an argument of access-to-subprogram type. This
avoids some false positives as illustrated by the following example:

package Wrapping is
   procedure Wrapper (Ptr : not null access procedure);
end Wrapping;

package body Wrapping is
   procedure Wrapper (Ptr : not null access procedure) is
   begin
      Ptr.all;
   end Wrapper;
end Wrapping;

with Wrapping;
procedure Test_Loop is
   Found : Boolean := False;
   procedure Set_True;
   procedure Set_True is
   begin
      Found := True;
   end Set_True;
begin
   loop
      Wrapping.Wrapper (Set_True'Access);
      exit when Found;
   end loop;
end Test_Loop;

This now compiles and executes quietly with -gnat05. Previously
there was an incorrect warning about a possible infinite loop
on the exit when.

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk

	found.
