powerpc/modules: Add REL24 relocation support of livepatch symbols
Livepatch re-uses module loader function apply_relocate_add() to write relocations, instead of managing them by arch-dependent klp_write_module_reloc() function. apply_relocate_add() doesn't understand livepatch symbols (marked with SHN_LIVEPATCH symbol section index) and assumes them to be local symbols by default for R_PPC64_REL24 relocation type. It fails with an error, when trying to calculate offset with local_entry_offset(): module_64: kpatch_meminfo: REL24 -1152921504897399800 out of range! Whereas livepatch symbols are essentially SHN_UNDEF, should be called via stub used for global calls. This issue can be fixed by teaching apply_relocate_add() to handle both SHN_UNDEF/SHN_LIVEPATCH symbols via the same stub. This patch extends SHN_UNDEF code to handle livepatch symbols too.
