WANG Xuerui 2772ae4d66 modpost: Ignore relaxation and alignment marker relocs on LoongArch
With recent trunk versions of binutils and gcc, alignment directives are
represented with R_LARCH_ALIGN relocs on LoongArch, which is necessary
for the linker to maintain alignment requirements during its relaxation
passes. And even though the kernel is built with relaxation disabled, so
far a small number of R_LARCH_RELAX marker relocs are still emitted as
part of la.* pseudo instructions in assembly. These two kinds of relocs
do not refer to symbols, which can trip up modpost's section mismatch
checks, because the r_offset of said relocs can be zero or any other
meaningless value, eventually leading to a `from == NULL` condition in
default_mismatch_handler and SIGSEGV.

As the two kinds of relocs are not concerned with symbols, just ignore
them for section mismatch check purposes.
