[GAS][ARM]Use frag's thumb_mode information when available.


Hi all,


In arm_init_frag(), thumb_mode is used to decide generate MAP_ARM or MAP_THUMB mapping symbol when aligning code. However, thumb_mode is a static variable. arm_init_frag will be called in two different stages, reading source file and writing object file.

This is not a problem before. But after my change here: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2015-04/msg00381.html. The switch statement will always be evaluated. In this case, previous thumb_mode (decided while processing source file) will affect the correct map symbol inserting later.

For example:

arm_func:
        bx      lr
------------> MAP_THUMB is inserted here while finishing subseg. .thumb_func ------------> thumb_mode is 1 while reading source file.
        .p2align 4

thumb_func:
        bx      lr

The assembly objectdump looks like this which is not correct:

00000000 <arm_func>:

   0:   e12fff1e        bx      lr
   4:   0000            movs    r0, r0
   6:   e1a0            b.n     34a <thumb_func+0x33a>
   8:   0000            movs    r0, r0
   a:   e1a0            b.n     34e <thumb_func+0x33e>
   c:   0000            movs    r0, r0
   e:   e1a0            b.n     352 <thumb_func+0x342>

00000010 <thumb_func>:

  10:   4770            bx      lr
  12:   46c0            nop                     ; (mov r8, r8)
  14:   46c0            nop                     ; (mov r8, r8)
  16:   46c0            nop                     ; (mov r8, r8)

binutils, gas, ld regression test Okay. Okay to commit?
