objtool/klp: Add post-link subcommand to finalize livepatch modules
Livepatch needs some ELF magic which linkers don't like: - Two relocation sections (.rela*, .klp.rela*) for the same text section. - Use of SHN_LIVEPATCH to mark livepatch symbols. Unfortunately linkers tend to mangle such things. To work around that, klp diff generates a linker-compliant intermediate binary which encodes the relevant KLP section/reloc/symbol metadata. After module linking, the .ko then needs to be converted to an actual livepatch module. Introduce a new klp post-link subcommand to do so.
