[ Upstream commit 80e5302e4bc85a6b685b7668c36c6487b5f90e9a ]

An impending change to enable HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT on powerpc leads to
warnings such as the following:

Looking at the relocation records in __mcount_loc shows a few spurious
entries:

RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [__mcount_loc]:
OFFSET TYPE VALUE
0000000000000000 R_PPC64_ADDR64 .text.unlikely+0x0000000000000008
0000000000000008 R_PPC64_ADDR64 .text.unlikely+0x0000000000000014
0000000000000010 R_PPC64_ADDR64 .text.unlikely+0x0000000000000060
0000000000000018 R_PPC64_ADDR64 .text.unlikely+0x00000000000000b4
0000000000000020 R_PPC64_ADDR64 .init.text+0x0000000000000008
0000000000000028 R_PPC64_ADDR64 .init.text+0x0000000000000014

The first entry in each section is incorrect. Looking at the
relocation records, the spurious entries correspond to the
R_PPC64_ENTRY records:

RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text.unlikely]:
OFFSET TYPE VALUE
0000000000000000 R_PPC64_REL64 .TOC.-0x0000000000000008
0000000000000008 R_PPC64_ENTRY *ABS*
0000000000000014 R_PPC64_REL24 _mcount
<snip>

The problem is that we are not validating the return value from
get_mcountsym() in sift_rel_mcount(). With this entry, mcountsym is 0,
but Elf_r_sym(relp) also ends up being 0. Fix this by ensuring
mcountsym is valid before processing the entry.
