Public bug reported:

EFISTUB zImages for ARM64 contain two sections, a dummy .reloc section
and a .text sections covering the entire payload.

When attempting to sign such a zImage, sbsign fails in the
image_find_regions() like so

Starting program: /home/ard/build/sbsigntool-0.6/src/sbsign --key server.key 
--cert server.crt ~/linux-arm/arch/arm64/boot/Image
warning: gap in section table:
    (null)  : 0xffff8000093bfd01 - 0xffff8000093bfd01,
    .text   : 0x000001a0 - 0x00000201,

This is caused by the loop in this function, which skips NULL sections
but still increments 'i', causing the contiguity check to become
invalid.

The following patch solves the issue for me.
