objtool: Optimize find_symbol_by_index()
The symbol index is object wide, not per section, so it makes no sense to have the symbol_hash be part of the section object. By moving it to the elf object we avoid the linear sections iteration. This reduces the runtime of objtool on vmlinux.o from over 3 hours (I gave up) to a few minutes. The defconfig vmlinux.o has around 20k sections.
