PowerPC64 check_relocs

PowerPC64 check_relocs

[Alan Modra]

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.

-	     DEF_REGULAR may be cleared later by a strong definition in
-	     a shared library.  We account for that possibility below by
-	     storing information in the dyn_relocs field of the hash
-	     table entry.  A similar situation occurs when creating

-	     symbol local.
