[PATCH v2] x86: Treat R_386_PLT32 as R_386_PC32

[Fangrui Song <maskray@google.com>]

This is similar to commit b21ebf2fb4cd ("x86: Treat R_X86_64_PLT32 as
R_X86_64_PC32"), but for i386.  As far as Linux kernel is concerned,
R_386_PLT32 can be treated the same as R_386_PC32.

R_386_PC32/R_X86_64_PC32 are PC-relative relocation types with the
requirement that the symbol address is significant.
R_386_PLT32/R_X86_64_PLT32 are PC-relative relocation types without the
address significance requirement.

On x86-64, there is no PIC vs non-PIC PLT distinction and an
R_X86_64_PLT32 relocation is produced for both `call/jmp foo` and
`call/jmp foo@PLT` with newer (2018) GNU as/LLVM integrated assembler.

On i386, there are 2 types of PLTs, PIC and non-PIC. Currently the
convention is to use R_386_PC32 for non-PIC PLT and R_386_PLT32 for PIC
PLT, but R_386_PLT32 is arguably preferable for -fno-pic code as well:
this can avoid a "canonical PLT entry" (st_shndx=0, st_value!=0) if the
symbol turns out to be defined externally.

clang-12 -fno-pic (since
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/961f31d8ad14c66829991522d73e14b5a96ff6d4)
can emit R_386_PLT32 for compiler produced symbols (if we drop
-ffreestanding for CONFIG_X86_32, library call optimization can produce
newer declarations) and future GCC -fno-pic may emit R_386_PLT32 as well
if an option like -fno-direct-access-external-data is adopted to avoid
canonical PLT entry/copy relocations.
