objtool/klp: Add test for EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES references
A symbol exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES() is reachable only by the modules named in its namespace, and a livepatch module is never one of them. So a reference to it cannot be an ordinary relocation resolved by the module loader; it has to be a klp relocation applied at patch time. Getting this wrong is silent. The module links, loads, and reads the wrong thing, or fails to load for a reason that does not name the cause. This tests the behavior of commit 4cd3cfb8b54f ("objtool/klp: Fix relocations for EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES() symbols"). Which object the resulting relocation is filed under is a separate question, and one this test cannot ask: the patched object here is vmlinux, so the vmlinux section is the one produced either way. That is covered by the module case, in "objtool/klp: Add test for vmlinux relocs in a patched module".
