Josh Poimboeuf aea8e10574 objtool: Fix weak symbol detection

[ Upstream commit 72567c630d ]

find_symbol_hole_containing() fails to find a symbol hole (aka stripped
weak symbol) if its section has no symbols before the hole.  This breaks
weak symbol detection if -ffunction-sections is enabled.

Fix that by allowing the interval tree to contain section symbols, which
are always at offset zero for a given section.

Fixes a bunch of (-ffunction-sections) warnings like:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: .text.__x64_sys_io_setup+0x10: unreachable instruction

Fixes: 4adb236867 ("objtool: Ignore extra-symbol code")
