[PATCH 19/22] objtool: Shrink elf hash nodes

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Tue May 30 2023 - 13:22:52 EST


Instead of using hlist for the 'struct elf' hashes, use a custom
single-linked list scheme.

With allyesconfig + CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO:

- Before: peak heap memory consumption: 36.89G
- After: peak heap memory consumption: 35.12G
