[SPARC] PR ld/22832


In my fix for PR ld/22727 on SPARC, I passed TRUE as the 'create' argument in 
the call to bfd_link_hash_lookup.  It turns out this was a bad idea because, 
if the symbol is created at this point, the link will miserably abort later in 
elf_link_output_extsym.  So the attached patch changes the TRUE into a FALSE 
and puts an assertion on the result of the call, making it easier to debug the 
issue; that's exactly in keeping with what Gold does.

Tested on SPARC64/Linux, applied on mainline and 2.30 branch as obvious.

	* elfxx-sparc.c (_bfd_sparc_elf_check_relocs) <R_SPARC_TLS_GD_CALL>:
	Pass FALSE instead of TRUE as 'create' argument to bfd_link_hash_lookup
	and assert that the result of the call is not NULL.
