PowerPC64 check_relocs

[Alan Modra <amodra@gmail.com>]

Tidy the dynamic reloc handling code in check_relocs, removing
leftover comments and code from when check_relocs was called as each
object file was read in.

	* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_check_relocs): Tidy dynamic reloc
	handling code.
	(dec_dynrel_count): Do the same here.
