    livepatch: avoid relocations referencing ignored section symbols
    
    Track whether symbols belong to ignored sections in order to avoid
    applying relocations referencing those symbols. The address of such
    symbols won't be resolved and thus the relocation will likely fail or
    write garbage to the destination.
    
    Return an error in that case, as leaving unresolved relocations would
    lead to malfunctioning payload code.
