[PATCH v1] aarch64: Fix assembler internal error for %dtprel relocations

From: Srinath Parvathaneni <srinath.parvathaneni@arm.com>

The current implementation creates the DTPREL fixup before reserving
the storage for the corresponding ".xword". GCC's "%dtprel" support
for TLS DWARF debug information exposed this during an AArch64 bootstrap,
where the libsanitizer/tsan DWARF layout places the DTPREL fixup at a
frag boundary. Reserving the storage before creating the fixup avoids
this corner case.

The simplest reproducer (tsan_interceptors_posix-bad.s from libsanitizer/tsan)
is 50k lines and I'm avoid attaching that hugh testfile to this patch.

gas/
	PR binutils/34357
	* config/tc-aarch64.c (s_aarch64_cons) : Fix the storage order for
	DTPREL.

Regression tested on aarch64-linux-gnu and found no regressions.

Ok for master?

Regards,
Srinath
