Subject: objtool: Move objtool_file struct off the stack

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com>

commit 0c671812f152b628bd87c0af49da032cc2a2c319 upstream.

Objtool uses over 512k of stack, thanks to the hash table embedded in
the objtool_file struct.  This causes an unnecessarily large stack
allocation and breaks users with low stack limits.

Move the struct off the stack.

Fixes: 042ba73fe7eb ("objtool: Add several performance improvements")
