LoongArch: module: Use got/plt section indices for relocations
Instead of saving a pointer to the .got, .plt and .plt_idx sections to apply {got,plt}-based relocations, save and use their section indices instead. The mod->arch.{core,init}.{got,plt} pointers were problematic for live- patch because they pointed within temporary section headers (provided by the module loader via info->sechdrs) that would be freed after module load. Since livepatch modules may need to apply relocations post-module- load (for example, to patch a module that is loaded later), using section indices to offset into the section headers (instead of accessing them through a saved pointer) allows livepatch modules on LoongArch to pass in their own copy of the section headers to apply_relocate_add() to apply delayed relocations. The method used is same as commit c8ebf64eab743 ("arm64/module: use plt section indices for relocations").
