A static branch key owned by a module cannot be reached with a klp reloc:
late module patching allows the livepatch module to load first, leaving the
__jump_table entry unresolved for jump_label_add_module() to dereference.
validate_special_section_klp_reloc() rejects it at build time.
test-jump-label-module-key covers that for a global key. A file-local one
takes a different route to the same check: the compiler references a static
through its section symbol plus an addend, so the key has to be resolved
from the section before it can be recognised as STT_OBJECT at all. Until
commit f9fb44b0ecef ("objtool/klp: Fix detection of corrupt static
branch/call entries") it was not, and the reference was silently emitted.
Give the fixture a STATIC_KEY knob and cover it. The test checks that the
input really does reference the key through its section, since without that
it is only a second copy of the existing test.
Verified by reverting commit f9fb44b0ecef ("objtool/klp: Fix detection of
corrupt static branch/call entries"): klp diff accepts the input and the
test fails, under both gcc and clang.
