Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/6] modpost: deduplicate section_rel[a]()

Now both functions are almost identical, and we can again generalize
the relocation types Elf_Rela/Elf_Rel with Elf_Rela, and handle some
differences with conditionals on section header type (SHT_RELA/REL).

The important bit is to make sure the loop increment uses the right
size for pointer arithmethic.

The original reason for split functions to make program logic easier
to follow; commit 5b24c0715fc4 ("kbuild: code refactoring in modpost").

Hopefully these 2 commits may help improving that, without an impact
in understanding the code due to generalization of relocation types.
