[lib/Object, tools] - Make ELFObjectFile::getELFFile return reference.

[grimar]

Summary

We always have an object, so we don't have to return a pointer.

[MaskRay]

Looks great!

Hello, this seems to break the build. Error here http://lab.llvm.org:8011/#/builders/16/builds/2910/steps/5/logs/stdio. Line 46 of llvm/tools/llvm-profgen/ProfiledBinary.cpp should now take a reference instead of pointer.

[zhuhan0]

Sorry nvm, this is already fixed.
