recordmcount: Rewrite error/success handling Recordmcount uses setjmp/longjmp to manage control flow as it reads and then writes the ELF file. This unusual control flow is hard to follow and check in addition to being unlike kernel coding style. So we rewrite these paths to use regular return values to indicate error/success. When an error or previously-completed object file is found we return an error code following kernel coding conventions -- negative error values and 0 for success when we're not returning a pointer. We return NULL for those that fail and return non-NULL pointers otherwise. One oddity is already_has_rel_mcount -- there we use pointer comparison rather than string comparison to differentiate between previously-processed object files and returning the name of a text section.
