[PATCH v4 1/2] objtool: fix failed cold symbol doublefree
From: Artem Savkov
Date: Tue Nov 20 2018 - 03:06:07 EST
If read_symbols() fails during second list traversal (the one dealing
with ".cold" subfunctions) it frees the symbol, but never deletes it
from the list/hash_table resulting in symbol being freed again in
elf_close(). Fix by just returning an error leaving cleanup to
elf_close().
Fixes: 13810435b9a7 ("objtool: Support GCC 8's cold subfunctions")
