Fix linker crash in avr_elf32_load_records_from_section


Hi,

  The linker crashes when ld/testsuite/ld-avr/avr-prop-1.d is run with
  -m avrxmega6 (instead of avrxmega2 that is supplied in the testcase).

  The crash occurs when attempting to free internal_relocs obtained
  through a _bfd_elf_link_read_relocs call with keep_memory set to
  FALSE. This works fine if the relocs aren't already cached by a prior
  call. Otherwise, calling free on the returned (cached) relocs,
  allocated with bfd_alloc, crashes the linker.

  This rather trivial fix repeats the cached pointer check already done
  in quite a few places in elf32-avr.c.

  If this is ok, could someone commit please? I don't have commit
  access.

Regards
Senthil
