scripts/sorttable: Fix endianness handling in build-time mcount sort

Kernel cross-compilation with BUILDTIME_MCOUNT_SORT produces zeroed
mcount values if the build-host endianness does not match the ELF
file endianness.

The mcount values array is converted from ELF file
endianness to build-host endianness during initialization in
fill_relocs()/fill_addrs(). Avoid extra conversion of these values during
weak-function zeroing; otherwise, they do not match nm-parsed addresses
and all mcount values are zeroed out.
