[PATCH v3 16/21] objtool/klp: Filter arm64 mapping symbols in find_symbol_by_offset()

ARM64 ELF objects contain $d/$x mapping symbols (STT_NOTYPE) at offset 0
in data/text sections.  These aren't "real" symbols so filter them from
find_symbol_by_offset(), consistent with the existing section symbol
filter.
