Josh Poimboeuf ebe864b553 objtool/klp: Add post-link subcommand to finalize livepatch modules
Livepatch needs some ELF magic which linkers don't like:

  - Two relocation sections (.rela*, .klp.rela*) for the same text
    section.

  - Use of SHN_LIVEPATCH to mark livepatch symbols.

Unfortunately linkers tend to mangle such things.  To work around that,
klp diff generates a linker-compliant intermediate binary which encodes
the relevant KLP section/reloc/symbol metadata.

After module linking, the .ko then needs to be converted to an actual
livepatch module.  Introduce a new klp post-link subcommand to do so.
