    Re: PR27625, powerpc64 gold __tls_get_addr calls

    My previous PR27625 patch had a problem or two.  For one, the error
    "__tls_get_addr call lacks marker reloc" on processing some calls
    before hitting a call without markers typically isn't seen.  Instead a
    gold assertion fails.  Either way it would be a hard error, which
    triggers on a file contained in libphobos.a when running the gcc
    testsuite.  A warning isn't even appropriate since the call involved
    is one built by hand without any of the arg setup relocations that
    might result in linker optimisation.

    So this patch reverts most of commit 0af4fcc25dd5, instead entirely
    ignoring the problem of mis-optimising old-style __tls_get_addr calls
    without marker relocs.  We can't handle them gracefully without
    another pass over relocations before decisions are made about GOT
    entries in Scan::global or Scan::local.  That seems too costly, just
    to link object files from 2009.  What's more, there doesn't seem to be
    any way to allow the libphobos explicit __tls_get_addr call, but not
    old TLS sequences without marker relocs.  Examining instructions
    before the __tls_get_addr call is out of the question: program flow
    might reach the call via a branch.  Putting an R_PPC64_TLSGD marker
    with zero sym on the call might be a solution, but current linkers
    will then merrily optimise away the call!

            PR gold/27625
            * powerpc.cc (Powerpc_relobj): Delete no_tls_marker_, tls_marker_,
            and tls_opt_error_ variables and accessors.  Remove all uses.
