[PATCH] recordmcount: Support empty section from recent binutils

[Christophe Leroy]

Looks like recent binutils (2.36 and over ?) may empty some section,
leading to failure like:

	Cannot find symbol for section 11: .text.unlikely.
	kernel/kexec_file.o: failed
	make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:287: kernel/kexec_file.o] Error 1

In order to avoid that, ensure that the section has a content before
returning it's name in has_rel_mcount().
