    elf_backend_finish_dynamic_symbol returning false
    
    Returning false from elf_backend_finish_dynamic_symbol will not result
    in an error being printed unless bfd_error is set but will result in
    the linker exiting with a non-zero status.  If just bfd_error is set
    then a generic "final link failed" will result, which doesn't help a
    user much.  So elf_backend_finish_dynamic_symbol should print its own
    error message whenever returning false, or use BFD_ASSERT or abort to
    print assertion failures for conditions that shouldn't occur.
    
    This patch does that, and removes unnecessary "htab != NULL" tests in
    elf_backend_finish_dynamic_symbol.  Such tests aren't needed in a
    function only called via elf_backend_data.
