Subject: [PATCH v2 56/62] objtool: Add base objtool support for livepatch modules
In preparation for klp-build, enable "classic" objtool to work on
livepatch modules:
- Avoid duplicate symbol/section warnings for prefix symbols and the
.static_call_sites and __mcount_loc sections which may have already
been extracted by klp diff.
- Add __klp_funcs to the IBT function pointer section whitelist.
- Prevent KLP symbols from getting incorrectly classified as cold
subfunctions.
