objtool: Fix elf_create_undef_symbol() endianness
commit 46c7405df7de8deb97229eacebcee96d61415f3f upstream. Currently x86 cross-compilation fails on big endian system with: x86_64-cross-ld: init/main.o: invalid string offset 488112128 >= 6229 for section `.strtab' Mark new ELF data in elf_create_undef_symbol() as symbol, so that libelf does endianness handling correctly.
