The kernel refuses a module-targeted klp relocation which names a vmlinux
symbol. An EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES() symbol needs a klp relocation, so
patching a module function that references one only loads if klp diff files
that relocation under vmlinux rather than under the patched module.
This fails at load, not at build: klp-build produces a module and static
checks of it find nothing wrong. Hence the assertion on which object the
relocation is filed against.
Reported by Dylan Hatch, whose mod-ns-lp branch carries the kernel-side
half of this case.
