[PATCH for-4.9 v3 3/3] xen/livepatch: Don't crash on encountering STN_UNDEF relocations

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>]

A symndx of STN_UNDEF is special, and means a symbol value of 0.  While
legitimate in the ELF standard, its existance in a livepatch is questionable
at best.  Until a plausible usecase presents itself, reject such a relocation
with -EOPNOTSUPP.

Additionally, fix an off-by-one error while range checking symndx, and perform
a safety check on elf->sym[symndx].sym before derefencing it, to avoid
tripping over a NULL pointer when calculating val.
