s390: handle R_390_PLT32DBL reloc entries in machine_apply_elf_rel()
Starting with gcc 11.3, the C compiler will generate PLT-relative function
calls even if they are local and do not require it. Later on during linking,
the linker will replace all PLT-relative calls to local functions with
PC-relative ones. Unfortunately, the purgatory code of kexec/kdump is
not being linked as a regular executable or shared library would have been,
and therefore, all PLT-relative addresses remain in the generated purgatory
object code unresolved. This in turn lets kexec-tools fail with
"Unknown rela relocation: 0x14 0x73c0901c" for such relocation types.
Furthermore, the clang C compiler has always behaved like described above
and this commit should fix the purgatory code built with the latter.
Because the purgatory code is no regular executable or shared library,
contains only calls to local functions and has no PLT, all R_390_PLT32DBL
relocation entries can be resolved just like a R_390_PC32DBL one.
