[committed 0/2] MIPS/BFD: TLS relocation resolution fixes for executables

Hi,

 This small patch series addresses issues with the resolution of GD, LD 
and IE TLS relocations referring to locally-defined symbols in 
executables.  Such symbols cannot be preempted and therefore relocations 
are supposed to resolve at static link time.  However dynamic relocations 
are produced.

 The two patches address two separate problems, with PIE executables, as 
reported with PR ld/22570, and with regular executables.  Thanks, Rich, 
for reporting this issue and the proposed fix, which made addressing this 
issue easier for me.

 Please see individual change descriptions for further details.  These 
changes passed binutils regression testing against my usual set of targets 
as well as `mips-linux-gnu' glibc regression testing with the big-endian 
o32 PLT multilib.  I don't have a PIE glibc multilib currently available 
for testing.

 I have committed these changes now to master.  I'm not sure if these 
fixes are critical enough to rush them into 2.31 so shortly before the 
release; Rich, could you perhaps chime in?

  Maciej
