Subject: [PATCH] [github] Fix release parameter to uncomment download links
 step (#176386)

I thought I could remove validate-tag from the "needs" because
release-binaries also "needs" validate-tag. Turns out that we get the
release version from an output of validate-tag and if it isn't in the
"needs" section we get an empty string when substitution happens.
Leading to this error:

./llvm/utils/release/./github-upload-release.py --token "$GITHUB_TOKEN"
--release uncomment_download_links
github-upload-release.py: error: the following arguments are required:
command

Put back validate-tag.

Fixes 822a45f4b4909289f84d119f1e5891b486d74f5e.

(cherry picked from commit 554d6ae5a5b2e8c29964927ffecc4b09d56311ef)
