[PATCH] D26203: [ClangTidy - performance-unnecessary-value-param]: Do not issue fix for functions that are referenced outside of callExpr

[Felix Berger via cfe-commits]

flx set the repository for this revision to rL LLVM.

Suppress fixes for functions that are referenced within the compilation unit outside of a call expression as the signature change could break the code referencing the function.

We still issue a warning in this case so that users can decide to manually change the function signature.
