  3. kpatch/LoongArch: create and process section __patchable_function_ent… 

    …ries

Generate 2 NOPs right at the beginning of each function with
-fpatchable-function-entry=2 in LoongArch. So here create section
__patchable_function_entries and check this situation.

  4. kpatch/LoongArch: change local labels with sections symbols 

    Here fix error like: "tcp.o: symbol changed sections: .LBB7266.
create-diff-object: unreconcilable difference".
Due to LoongArch GCC generating local labels such as .LBB7266,
it is difficult to compare the modified sections in the
corresponding object files of the two files before and after
the patch, so change them with sections symbols in rela section,
and delete them in other sections.

  5. kpatch/LoongArch: fix ld error 

    Take tcp.o as an example. An ld error occurs as follows:
"ld: __patchable_function_entries has both ordered and
unordered sections" when linking patch-hook.o and output.o.

The link error is triggered by running the command:
"ld -r --unique=.parainstructions --unique=.altinstructions -o
patch/tmp_output.o output/net/ipv4/tcp.o".

With -fpatchable-function-entry, LoongArch GCC sets WAL flags
for section __patchable_function_entries in object file
(which includes patch-hook.o) by default.
Meanwhile, Kpatch sets A flags for output.o in create_section_pair().
To resolve the ld error, we set sh_flags = WAL.

  8. kpatch/LoongArch: fix build error on non-LoongArch architectures 

    Added conditional compilation to prevent 'R_LARCH_64' and 'EM_LOONGARCH'
from being referenced on x86 and other non-LoongArch architectures. This
ensures the code works across different architectures without errors.
