perf bpf: Check relocation target section

Libbpf should check the target section before doing relocation to ensure
the relocation is correct. If not, a bug in LLVM causes an error. See
[1].  Also, if an incorrect BPF script uses both global variable and
map, global variable whould be treated as map and be relocated without
error.

This patch saves the id of the map section into obj->efile and compare
target section of a relocation symbol against it during relocation.

Previous patch introduces a test case about this problem.  After this
patch:

  # ~/perf test BPF
