[PATCH 1/2] modpost: refactor check_sec_ref()

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Sun Oct 01 2023 - 01:47:45 EST


We can replace &elf->sechdrs[i] with &sechdrs[i] to slightly shorten
the code because we already have the local variable 'sechdrs'.

However, defining 'sechdr' instead shortens the code further.
