objtool: Fix segfault in .cold detection with -ffunction-sections
Because find_symbol_by_name() traverses the same lists as read_symbols(), changing sym->name in place without copying it affects the result of find_symbol_by_name(). In the case where a ".cold" function precedes its parent in sec->symbol_list, it can result in a function being considered a parent of itself. This leads to function length being set to 0 and other consequent side-effects including a segfault in add_switch_table(). The effects of this bug are only visible when building with -ffunction-sections in KCFLAGS. Fix by copying the search string instead of modifying it in place.
