    xen/livepatch: Don't crash on encountering STN_UNDEF relocations
    
    A symndx of STN_UNDEF is special, and means a symbol value of 0.  While
    legitimate in the ELF standard, its existance in a livepatch is questionable
    at best.  Until a plausible usecase presents itself, reject such a 
relocation
    with -EOPNOTSUPP.
    
    Additionally, fix an off-by-one error while range checking symndx, and 
perform
    a safety check on elf->sym[symndx].sym before derefencing it, to avoid
    tripping over a NULL pointer when calculating val.
