Subject: [PATCH 4.14 03/89] objtool: Fix seg fault with clang-compiled objects

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Simon Ser <contact@...rsion.fr>

commit ce90aaf5cde4ce057b297bb6c955caf16ef00ee6 upstream.

Fix a seg fault which happens when an input file provided to 'objtool
orc generate' doesn't have a '.shstrtab' section (for instance, object
files produced by clang don't have this section).
