Now that we add an initially-empty relocation section and share
the libelf data buffer from the beginning, we can safely use
objtools elf_create_reloc_section() function to simplify the
code further -- use the anticipated base section name, avoid
the need to set sh_info, etc. The only remaining difference
between this and the old recordmcount code is we didn't set
SHF_INFO_LINK so we clear the sh_flags as before.
