[PATCH] objtool: Remove reloc symbol type checks in get_alt_entry()

[Josh Poimboeuf]

Converting a special section's relocation reference to a symbol is
straightforward.  No need for objtool to complain that it doesn't know
how to handle it.  Just handle it.

This fixes the following warning:

  arch/x86/kvm/emulate.o: warning: objtool: __ex_table+0x4: don't know how to handle reloc symbol type: kvm_fastop_exception

Fixes: 24ff65257375 ("objtool: Teach get_alt_entry() about more relocation types")

Thanks!

Does not in fact apply due to Linus' patch. Fixed that up and will run
more careful tests this time :-)
