[PATCH] arm64: take SHN_LIVEPATCH syms into account when calculating plt_max_entries

SHN_LIVEPATCH symbols are technically a subset of SHN_UNDEF/undefined
symbols, except that their addresses are resolved by livepatch at runtime.
Therefore, when calculating the upper-bound for the number of plt entries
to allocate, make sure to take livepatch symbols into account as well.
