    loader: fix elf lookup_symbol type filtering
    
    The existing logic doesn't seem to make much sense, as we won't filter
    on the type if st_shndx != SHN_UNDEF.  In practice, this breaks booting
    12.3 kernels on newer loaders, as they do have a `kernphys` symbol of
    the wrong type (NOTYPE, rather than OBJECT) -- we end up deriving the
    wrong value for copy_staging.
    
    It's unclear if this version makes any more sense, but it seems to match
    what rtld's matched_symbol() does.  Loader doesn't need to care about
    STT_FUNC w/ UND shndx, because we won't encounter those; in kmods,
    undefined (kernel) functions are NOTYPE.
