Are SHT_RELA relocation sections actually supported on 32-bit arm? It looks
like there's only support for SHT_REL.

arch/arm/Kconfig:84:	select MODULES_USE_ELF_REL

If we support SHT_REL sections, the correct fix is to probably have
klp_write_object_relocations() check if the relocation section is
SHT_REL or SHT_RELA, and call the appropriate function (apply_relocate
or apply_relocate_add), similar to how the module loader does it.
