I checked over the results of applying --fix-cortex-a53-843419 to
a very large program (gitit) with two stub tables and thousands
of erratum fixes. I noticed that all the erratum_stubs were being
created but about 1/3 of them were being skipped over by
fix_errata_and_relocate_erratum_stubs(). By skipped over I mean
no branch relocation or adrp -> adr transformation was applied to
the erratum address, leaving the erratum_stub unreachable, and
with a branch with a 0 immediate.

The root cause of the skipped over erratum_stubs is
Erratum_stub::invalidate_erratum_stub() that is used to set
relobj_ to NULL when an erratum_stub has been processed.
Unfortunately relobj_ is used in operator<() so altering relobj
makes the results from erratum_stubs_.lower_bound() as used in
find_erratum_stubs_for_input_section() unreliable.
