[PATCH v2 1/2] tracepoint-update: do not reuse section pointers from a previous file

[Leizhen Zhang]

check_data_sec and tracepoint_data_sec are static and set while scanning
the section headers in process_tracepoints(), but are never reset. When
tracepoint-update is given several files and a later file lacks these
sections, the pointers from the previous, already unmapped file are
used, which crashes:

  $ scripts/tracepoint-update --module a.o c.o
  AddressSanitizer: SEGV ...

Reset both pointers at the start of process_tracepoints().

Kbuild currently passes a single file per invocation, so this does not
affect normal builds.

Fixes: e30f8e61e251 ("tracing: Add a tracepoint verification check at build time")
