Subject: livepatch: Prevent module-specific KLP rela sections from referencing
 vmlinux symbols
Git-commit: ca376a9374867d09ece6f61803764fb187201294
Patch-mainline: v5.8-rc1
References: bsc#1071995

Prevent module-specific KLP rela sections from referencing vmlinux
symbols.  This helps prevent ordering issues with module special section
initializations.  Presumably such symbols are exported and normal relas
can be used instead.
