This is slightly dodgy. You are assuming that sizeof(plt->lit) >=
sizeof(fixed_plts), which may change depending on configuration or
future changes.

Could you add a BUILD_BUG_ON() here to ensure that this remains the case?

Where is plt_ent ever used?

Please move the if () check into prealloc_fixed(), and only keep the loop below

Please use a normal for loop here and iterate upward starting at 0
