[PATCH 2/2] modpost: factor out the common boilerplate of section_rel(a)

[Masahiro Yamada]

The first few lines of section_rel() and section_rela() are the same.
They both retrieve the index of the section to which the relocaton
applies, and skip known-good sections. This common code should be moved
to check_sec_ref().

Avoid ugly casts when computing 'start' and 'stop', and also make the
Elf_Rel and Elf_Rela pointers const.
