Subject: [PATCH v2 37/62] objtool: Generalize elf_create_symbol()

In preparation for the objtool klp diff subcommand, broaden the
elf_create_symbol() interface to give callers more control and reduce
duplication of some subtle setup logic.

While at it, make elf_create_symbol() and elf_create_section_symbol()
public so sections can be created by the upcoming klp diff code.
