[Xen-devel] [livepatch-build-tools part3 v2 2/3] create-diff-object: Extend patchability verification: STN_UNDEF

[Pawel Wieczorkiewicz <wipawel@xxxxxxxxx>]

During verification check if all sections do not contain any entries
with undefined symbols (STN_UNDEF). This situation can happen when a
section is copied over from its original object to a patched object,
but various symbols related to the section are not copied along.
This scenario happens typically during stacked hotpatches creation
(between 2 different hotpatch modules).

v2:
* Refactored code by creating a new function kpatch_section_has_undef_symbols()
  for the complicated multi-loop code of kpatch_verify_patchability().
  Hopefully this makes code more readable and easier to maintain.
* Kept lines limits to 80 chars (whereever possible)
* Detection of an undefined symbol counts as a single error
