PR28523, ld.bfd created undefined symbols on ppc64
This patch removes any fake (linker created) function descriptor
symbol if its code entry symbol isn't dynamic, to ensure bogus dynamic
symbols are not created. The change to func_desc_adjust requires that
it be run only once, which means ppc64_elf_tls_setup can't call it for
just a few selected symbols.

Re: PR27625, powerpc64 gold __tls_get_addr calls
My previous PR27625 patch had a problem or two. For one, the error
"__tls_get_addr call lacks marker reloc" on processing some calls
before hitting a call without markers typically isn't seen. Instead a
gold assertion fails. Either way it would be a hard error, which
triggers on a file contained in libphobos.a when running the gcc
testsuite. A warning isn't even appropriate since the call involved
is one built by hand without any of the arg setup relocations that
might result in linker optimisation.
So this patch reverts most of commit 0af4fcc25dd5, instead entirely
ignoring the problem of mis-optimising old-style __tls_get_addr calls
without marker relocs. We can't handle them gracefully without
another pass over relocations before decisions are made about GOT
entries in Scan::global or Scan::local. That seems too costly, just
to link object files from 2009. What's more, there doesn't seem to be
any way to allow the libphobos explicit __tls_get_addr call, but not
old TLS sequences without marker relocs. Examining instructions
before the __tls_get_addr call is out of the question: program flow
might reach the call via a branch. Putting an R_PPC64_TLSGD marker
with zero sym on the call might be a solution, but current linkers
will then merrily optimise away the call!

[GOLD] Re: PowerPC64: Don't pretend to support multi-toc
We can't get at section->address() until everything is laid out, so
trying to generalise the offset calculation rather than using a value
of 0x8000 (the old object->toc_base_offset()) was bound to fail.
got->g_o_t() is a little better than a hard-coded 0x8000.
