objtool/klp: Fix symbol correlation for orphaned local symbols
When compiling with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN, vmlinux.o has
__irf_[start|end] before the first FILE entry:
$ readelf -sW vmlinux.o
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 597706 entries:
Num: Value Size Type Bind Vis Ndx Name
0: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT UND
1: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 18 __irf_start
2: 0000000000000200 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 18 __irf_end
3: 0000000000000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 17 .text
4: 0000000000000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 18 .init.ramfs
This causes klp-build warnings like:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: no correlation: __irf_start
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: no correlation: __irf_end
The problem is that Clang LTO is stripping the initramfs_data.o FILE
symbol, causing those two symbols to be orphaned and not noticed by
klp-diff's correlation logic. Add a loop to correlate any symbols found
before the first FILE symbol.
