change inst_symlink to inst for insmod
...
Use "inst" instead of "inst_symlink" for insmod, since insmod might not
necessarily be a symlink on some distros. inst_symlink is functionally
the same as inst, with an additional check to make sure that it's a
symlink (which we don't care about either way).

fix dracut dependencies

The "kpatch install" command is broken because the kpatch script has
some missing dependencies in the initramfs. Make sure the new
dependencies (readelf and awk) are added to the initramfs.

warn detection fix

The current WARN detection logic catches the majority of cases, but
there are still a lot of outliers which it doesn't catch (thanks, gcc).
I looked at a much larger sample of WARN calls and came up with a more
generic algorithm.

make _rs a special static local
...
The _rs variable is used for printk ratelimiting, similar to __warned,
which makes it a logical candidate to be "special": don't correlate it,
yet don't mark a function as changed just because it references it.

allow patched modules to call external functions

When patching a kernel module, if we can't find a needed dynrela symbol,
we currently assume it's exported. However, it's also possible that
it's provided by another .o in the patch module. Add support for that.

Currently unbundled section references are only replaced if the start of

Improve the static local variable correlation logic, for the case where
a static local is used by multiple functions. For each usage of the
variable, look for a corresponding usage in the base object. If we find
at least one matching usage, consider it a twin.
