Seth Jennings 880e271841 dynrelas support, obsoleting link-vmlinux-syms
This adds dynamic linking support for the patch modules.  It is the
first step toward supporting patching module code and relocatable
kernels.

Rela entries that reference non-included local and non-exported global
symbols are converted to "dynrelas".  These dynrelas are relocations
that are done by the core module, not the kernel module linker.  This
allows the core module to apply offsets to the base addresses found
in the base vmlinux or module.

Seth Jennings 2de5f6cbfb rename .patches section to .kpatch.patches
Adding .kpatch to the section name more clearly documents that these
are kpatch related sections.
