Avoid spurious readelf error status from decode_arm_unwind.
readelf.c:decode_arm_unwind has a variable res that is used as a return value, with FALSE meaning unsuccessful and TRUE meaning successful. This is initialized to FALSE (and then various code in the function sets it to FALSE again on error), meaning that when the function is successful, if it reaches returning res is still returns FALSE, resulting eventually in exit status 1 from readelf without any error message to indicate an error. This patch fixes the initialization to use TRUE, so avoiding those spurious errors. I don't have a self-contained test for this issue; it was observed as many prelink tests failing without the patch and passing with it. * readelf.c (decode_arm_unwind): Initialize res to TRUE.
