[BPF] Disable relocation for .BTF.ext section



Build llvm with assertion on, and then build bcc against this llvm.
Run any bcc tool with debug=8 (turning on -g for clang compilation),
you will get the following assertion errors,
  /home/yhs/work/llvm/lib/ExecutionEngine/RuntimeDyld/RuntimeDyldELF.cpp:888:
  void llvm::RuntimeDyldELF::resolveBPFRelocation(const llvm::SectionEntry&, uint64_t,
    uint64_t, uint32_t, int64_t): Assertion `Value <= (4294967295U)' failed.

The .BTF.ext ELF section uses Fixup's to get the instruction
offsets. The data width of the Fixup is 4 bytes since we only need
the insn offset within the section.

This caused the above error though since R_BPF_64_32 expects
4-byte value and the Runtime Dyld tried to resolve the actual
insn address which is 8 bytes.

Actually the offset within the section is all what we need.
Therefore, there is no need to perform any kind of relocation
for .BTF.ext section and such relocation will actually cause
incorrect result.

This patch changed BPFELFObjectWriter::getRelocType() such that
for Fixup Kind FK_Data_4, if the relocation Target is a temporary
symbol, let us skip the relocation (ELF::R_BPF_NONE).
