    libelf: Make all callers call elf_check_broken
    
    This arranges that if the new pointer reference error checking
    tripped, we actually get a message about it.  In this patch these
    messages do not change the actual return values from the various
    functions: so pointer reference errors do not prevent loading.  This
    is for fear that some existing kernels might cause the code to make
    these wild references, which would then break, which is not a good
    thing in a security patch.
    
    In xen/arch/x86/domain_build.c we have to introduce an "out" label and
    change all of the "return rc" beyond the relevant point into "goto
    out".
    
    Difference in the 4.2 series, compared to unstable:
    
    * tools/libxc/xc_hvm_build_x86.c:setup_guest and
      xen/arch/arm/kernel.c:kernel_try_elf_prepare have different
      error handling in 4.2 to unstable; patch adjusted accordingly.
    
    This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.
