commit 57ccec66689305cdb59afa179b3f9a6464c84820

    _bfd_elf_get_link_hash_entry tidy
    
    Replace the "Elf_Internal_Shdr *symtab_hdr" parameter with
    "unsigned int ext_sym_start", making it a duplicate of the existing
    get_link_hash_entry function.
    
    Also remove unnecessary checks from get_ext_sym_hash_from_cookie and
    find_merged_cie.  The sym_hashes and symbol index checks in
    get_ext_sym_hash_from_cookie are duplicates of those done in
    _bfd_elf_get_link_hash_entry, and there is no need to check for a
    global symbol before calling _bfd_elf_get_link_hash_entry.  When
    bad_symtab, local symbols will have a NULL sym_hashes entry.  Removing
    these unnecessary checks gets rid of some cookie->locsyms references.
    
            PR 33530
            * elf-bfd.h (_bfd_elf_get_link_hash_entry): Update declaration.
            * elflink.c (_bfd_elf_get_link_hash_entry): Rename from
            get_link_hash_entry, adjusting all calls and deleting original
            function.
            (get_ext_sym_hash_from_cookie): Make "symndx" unsigned int.
            Remove unnecessary check on sym_hashes, symbol index and
            symbol binding.
            * elf-eh-frame.c (find_merged_cie): Remove similar unnecessary
            checks.
            * elf64-x86-64.c (elf_x86_64_scan_relocs): Adjust.
            * elfxx-x86.c (_bfd_x86_elf_check_relocs): Adjust.
            (_bfd_x86_elf_link_relax_section): Adjust.
