[RFC PATCH v4 3/4] objtool: correct rebuilding of reloc sections

[Vasily Gorbik]

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently relocations generated in elf_rebuild_rel_reloc_section/
elf_rebuild_rela_reloc_section functions are broken if the objtool is
built and run on big endian system. E.g. the following errors pop up
during x86 cross compilation:
x86_64-9.1.0-ld: fs/efivarfs/inode.o: bad reloc symbol index (0x2000000 >=
		0x22) for offset 0 in section `.orc_unwind_ip'
x86_64-9.1.0-ld: final link failed: bad value

To address that convert those functions to do things similar to
elf_write_reloc(), reuse gelf_update_rel/gelf_update_rela libelf library
functions.
