livepatch: Prevent module-specific KLP rela sections from referencing vmlinux symbols 

Prevent module-specific KLP rela sections from referencing vmlinux
symbols.  This helps prevent ordering issues with module special section
initializations.  Presumably such symbols are exported and normal relas
can be used instead.
