module: Make sure relocations are applied to the per-CPU section



The per-CPU data section is handled differently than the other sections.
The memory allocations requires a special __percpu pointer and then the
section is copied into the view of each CPU. Therefore the SHF_ALLOC
flag is removed to ensure move_module() skips it.

Later, relocations are applied and apply_relocations() skips sections
without SHF_ALLOC because they have not been copied. This also skips the
per-CPU data section.
The missing relocations result in a NULL pointer on x86-64 and very
small values on x86-32. This results in a crash because it is not
skipped like NULL pointer would and can't be dereferenced.

Such an assignment happens during static per-CPU lock initialisation
with lockdep enabled.

Allow relocation processing for the per-CPU section even if SHF_ALLOC is
missing.
