[PATCH 6.6 046/175] scripts/sorttable: Remove unneeded Elf_Rel

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

[ Upstream commit 6f2c2f93a190467cebd6ebd03feb49514fead5ca ]

The code had references to initialize the Elf_Rel relocation tables, but
it was never used. Remove it.
