Replace the "Elf_Internal_Shdr *symtab_hdr" parameter with
"unsigned int ext_sym_start", making it a duplicate of the existing
get_link_hash_entry function.
Also remove unnecessary checks from get_ext_sym_hash_from_cookie and
find_merged_cie. The sym_hashes and symbol index checks in
get_ext_sym_hash_from_cookie are duplicates of those done in
_bfd_elf_get_link_hash_entry, and there is no need to check for a
global symbol before calling _bfd_elf_get_link_hash_entry. When
bad_symtab, local symbols will have a NULL sym_hashes entry. Removing
these unnecessary checks gets rid of some cookie->locsyms references.
