MIPS64/BFD: Fix a crash with STN_UNDEF in relocation

Prevent a null BFD pointer dereference and a resulting segmentation
fault in `mips_elf64_write_rel' or `mips_elf64_write_rela':

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000437690 in mips_elf64_write_rela (abfd=0x71e130, sec=0x720700,
    rela_hdr=0x721ff8, count=0x7fffffffb82c, data=0x7fffffffb88c)
    at .../bfd/elf64-mips.c:4123

4124		  && ! _bfd_elf_validate_reloc (abfd, ptr))

in the MIPS64 (n64 MIPS) ELF backend whenever the STN_UNDEF symbol index
is retrieved from the `r_sym' field of a relocation seen in input while
running `objcopy' or `strip'.  The reason for the null BFD pointer is
that internally in BFD an STN_UNDEF symbol reference resolves to an
absolute zero symbol that does not have a BFD associated.  Check the
pointer then before using it, like the generic ELF backend does in
`elf_write_relocs'.

This complements the same change made for generic ELF bundled with:

which (obviously due to a CVS -> GIT repository conversion inaccuracy)
seems to be one corresponding to this ChangeLog entry:

	* elfcode.h (write_relocs): Handle absolute symbol.

("Add SH ELF support."), which also updated RELA only and not REL (which
has been since fixed with: commit 947216bf8f34 ("ELF reloc code tidy"),
<https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2002-11/msg00727.html>).

	bfd/
	* elf64-mips.c (mips_elf64_write_rel): Handle a NULL BFD pointer
	in the BFD symbol referred by the relocation.
	(mips_elf64_write_rela): Likewise.
