Adding a line of code to __link_shadow_page() with a literal string
causes a false positive changed function with GCC:
arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko.o: changed function: kvm_tdp_mmu_map_private_pfn
While the patch only touched __link_shadow_page(), the string addition
triggered a rename of .LC64 -> .LC65 in kvm_tdp_mmu_map_private_pfn()
even though the underlying referenced constant data didn't change.
So for .LC* symbols, the suffix is arbitrary but the data isn't. Add
the underlying data to the checksum calculation rather than the symbol
name.
Clang also uses .LC* symbols, but also uses anonymous data. Both
compilers put this data in .rodata.cst<num> sections.
Fixes: 0d83da43b1e1 ("objtool/klp: Add --checksum option to generate
per-function checksums")
