Josh Poimboeuf 4ed9d82bf5 objtool: Speed up SHT_GROUP reindexing
After elf_update_group_sh_info() was introduced, a prototype version of
"objtool klp diff" went from taking ~1s to several minutes, due to
looping almost endlessly in elf_update_group_sh_info() while creating
thousands of local symbols in a file with thousands of sections.

Dramatically improve the performance by marking all symbols' correlated
SHT_GROUP sections while reading the object.  That way there's no need
to search for it every time a symbol gets reindexed.
