The mips backend already needed the reloc_count in Relocate::relocate,
but it can be easily computed from relinfo. See my earlier email to
Vladimir on this same topic:

https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2017-03/msg00233.html

I said there: "I might actually consider adding reloc_count directly
to Relinfo, and removing it from the interfaces where it's already
being passed, but that's a cleanup for a later date." With two
backends now needing it, perhaps this cleanup is due now. If you want
to change your subsequent patches to compute reloc_count as I
suggested, I'll work on that cleanup patch.
