varasm: Fix type confusion bug
This patch fixes a type confusion bug in varasm.cc:assemble_variable.
The problem is that the current code calls:
sect = get_variable_section (decl, false);
and then accesses sect->named.name without checking whether the section
is in fact a named section. In the surrounding else clause, we only know
that SECTION_STYLE (sect) != SECTION_NOSWITCH, so it is possible that
the section is an unnamed section.
In practice, this means that we end up doing a wild string compare
between a function pointer and the string literal ".vtable_map_vars".
This is because sect->named.name aliases sect->unnamed.callback in the
section union.
This can be seen in GDB with a simple testcase such as "int x;".
This patch fixes the issue by checking the SECTION_STYLE of the section
is in fact SECTION_NAMED before trying to do the string comparison.
We drop the existing check of whether sect->named.name is non-NULL
because this should presumably always be the case for a named section.

* varasm.cc (assemble_variable): Fix type confusion bug when
checking for ".vtable_map_vars" section.
