Subject: [PATCH 3/3] soc: qcom: mdt_loader: Fix check mdt_header_valid()

Firmware binaries may lack section headers, in which case
the e_shentsize field in the ELF header can be zero.

Update mdt_header_valid() to correctly handle this scenario
by adjusting the validation logic accordingly.

Fixes: 9f9967fed9d0 ("soc: qcom: mdt_loader: Ensure we don't read past the ELF header")
