Urgh, this is horrendous crap. Yes you're only using it in case of a
warning, but adding a function like this makes it appear like it's
actually sane to use.

A far better implementation -- but still not stellar -- would be
something like:

	sym = find_symbol_containing(sec, offset);
	if (!sym)
		// fail
	sym_for_each_insn(file, sym, insn) {
		...
	}

But given insn_hash uses sec_offset_hash() you can do something similar
to find_reloc_by_dest_range()

	start = offset - (INSN_MAX_SIZE - 1);
	for_offset_range(o, start, start + INSN_MAX_SIZE) {
		hash_for_each_possible(file->insn_hash, insn, hash, sec_offset_hash(sec, o)) {
			if (insn->sec != sec)
				continue;

			if (insn->offset <= offset &&
			    insn->offset + inns->len > offset)
				return insn;
		}
	}
	return NULL;

Yes, this should be something like arch_PIE_reloc() or so. Similar to
arch_pc_relative_reloc().
