create-diff-object: don't mangle .rela.__patchable_function_entries

kpatch_replace_sections_syms() substitutes the object/function symbols
for the section symbol in the relocation sections. But relocations in
.rela.__patchable_function_entries can point to an instruction ouside
the function. This is because with CALL_OPS enabled, two NOPs are added
before the function entry. __patchable_function_entries needs the
address of the first NOP above the function.

We anyway generate __patchable_function_entries again in
kpatch_create_ftrace_callsite_sections() so we can skip mangling these
relocations
