An impending change to enable HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT on powerpc leads to
warnings such as the following:

Looking at the relocation records in __mcount_loc shows a few spurious
entries:

  RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [__mcount_loc]:
  OFFSET           TYPE              VALUE
  0000000000000000 R_PPC64_ADDR64    .text.unlikely+0x0000000000000008
  0000000000000008 R_PPC64_ADDR64    .text.unlikely+0x0000000000000014
  0000000000000010 R_PPC64_ADDR64    .text.unlikely+0x0000000000000060
  0000000000000018 R_PPC64_ADDR64    .text.unlikely+0x00000000000000b4
  0000000000000020 R_PPC64_ADDR64    .init.text+0x0000000000000008
  0000000000000028 R_PPC64_ADDR64    .init.text+0x0000000000000014

The first entry in each section is incorrect. Looking at the
relocation records, the spurious entries correspond to the
R_PPC64_ENTRY records:

  RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text.unlikely]:
  OFFSET           TYPE              VALUE
  0000000000000000 R_PPC64_REL64     .TOC.-0x0000000000000008
  0000000000000008 R_PPC64_ENTRY     *ABS*
  0000000000000014 R_PPC64_REL24     _mcount
  <snip>

The problem is that we are not validating the return value from
get_mcountsym() in sift_rel_mcount(). With this entry, mcountsym is 0,
but Elf_r_sym(relp) also ends up being 0. Fix this by ensuring
mcountsym is valid before processing the entry.
