I realized later, that DT_PLTGOT is the LTP, and we have no way to ask
the linkmap the following questions:

1. Where is the end of that objects PLT?
2. Where is the start of that objects GOT?

The only way to answer those questions is to look for the last reloc
in the PLT and match the stub signature.
