[AArch64] Remove duplicated code when handling some GOT relocations types
There are quite a few duplicated code supporting several GP based relocation types. They are: BFD_RELOC_AARCH64_LD64_GOTOFF_LO15 BFD_RELOC_AARCH64_MOVW_GOTOFF_G0_NC BFD_RELOC_AARCH64_MOVW_GOTOFF_G1 These relocation types are supposed to be used for large memory model PIC/pic mode under which we will have an initialized GP register points to the base of GOT table, then these relocations are supposed to put the distance between GOT entry and GOT table base address into the related instructions. So, the parameters required to calculate the relocation should be the same as BFD_RELOC_AARCH64_LD64_GOTPAGE_LO15 etc, all of them are require the GOT entry address and GOT table base address to perform the relocation. This patch has removed those duplicated code when handling above listed relocation types, grouped them with others as relocation types that are require GOT table base address during performing relocation, reused the existed GOT handling code. The relocation calculation for these types before and after this patch should be identical. bfd/ * elfnn-aarch64.c (aarch64_relocation_aginst_gp_p): New function. (elfNN_aarch64_final_link_relocate): Delete duplicated code for BFD_RELOC_AARCH64_LD64_GOTOFF_LO15, BFD_RELOC_AARCH64_MOVW_GOTOFF_G0_NC, BFD_RELOC_AARCH64_MOVW_GOTOFF_G1. * elfxx-aarch64.c (_bfd_aarch64_elf_resolve_relocation): Optimize the support for them.
