    Use hash tables for instruction and rela lookups (and keep the linked
    lists around for sequential access).
    
    Also cache the section struct for the "__func_stack_frame_non_standard"
    section.
    
    With this change, "objtool check net/wireless/nl80211.o" goes from:
    
      real	0m1.168s
      user	0m1.163s
      sys	0m0.005s
    
    to:
    
      real	0m0.059s
      user	0m0.042s
      sys	0m0.017s
    
    for a 20x speedup.
    
    With the same object, it should be noted that the memory heap usage grew
    from 8MB to 62MB.  Reducing the memory usage is on the TODO list.
