s390: fix normalization bug in exception table sorting
commit bcb7825a upstream. The normalization pass in the sorting routine of the relative exception table serves two purposes: - it ensures that the address fields of the exception table entries are fully ordered, so that no ambiguities arise between entries with identical instruction offsets (i.e., when two instructions that are exactly 8 bytes apart each have an exception table entry associated with them) - it ensures that the offsets of both the instruction and the fixup fields of each entry are relative to their final location after sorting. Commit eb608fb3 ("s390/exceptions: switch to relative exception table entries") ported the relative exception table format from x86, but modified the sorting routine to only normalize the instruction offset field and not the fixup offset field. The result is that the fixup offset of each entry will be relative to the original location of the entry before sorting, likely leading to crashes when those entries are dereferenced.
