objtool: Make relocation in alternative handling arch dependent
As pointed out by the comment in handle_group_alt(), support of relocation for instructions in an alternative group depends on whether arch specific kernel code handles it. So, let objtool arch specific code decide whether a relocation for the alternative section should be accepted.
