[PATCH v3 05/10] objtool: Make relocation in alternative handling arch dependent

[Julien Thierry <jthierry@redhat.com>]

As pointed out by the comment in handle_group_alt(), support of
relocation for instructions in an alternative group depends on whether
arch specific kernel code handles it.

So, let objtool arch specific code decide whether a relocation for
the alternative section should be accepted.
