objtool: Allocate multiple structures with calloc()

By using calloc() instead of malloc() in a loop, libc does not have to
keep around bookkeeping information for each single structure.

This reduces maximum memory usage while processing vmlinux.o from
3153325 KB to 3035668 KB (-3.7%) on my notebooks "localmodconfig".

Note this introduces memory leaks, because some additional structs get
added to the lists later after reading the symbols and sections from the
original object.  Luckily we don't really care about memory leaks in
objtool.
