Subject: [PATCH] find-debuginfo.sh: Only add minisymtab for executables or
 shared libraries.

It only makes sense to add a minisymtab for executables and shared
libraries. Other executable ELF files (like kernel modules) don't need it.
Since those don't have a dynsym section trying to add it will fail and
produce confusing errors from nm.
