kpatch-build: support patching weak function 

Before this patch, if changed function is weak symbol, it is not
be allowed to create live patch, and it will trigger the following
error:
/usr/local/libexec/kpatch/create-diff-object: ERROR: ***.o:
kpatch_create_patches_sections: 2294: lookup_global_symbol ***

And if the changed function reference the weak symbol, when loading
the patch module will trigger the following error:
module kpatch-***: overflow in relocation type *** val 0
insmod: can't insert 'kpatch-***.ko': invalid module format

This patch fix it and add support for patching weak function.
