[lld] r303787 - Simplify a variable type by using StringRef instead of CachedHashStringRef.

Hi,

Unfortunately the results I get are the opposite. The largest slowdown
is in firefox with -O0 (2.5%). That is somewhat expected, as the
basics take a larger part of the link at -O0. I also don't see any
case where it is faster.

What testcase have you used? If you can share the reproduce.tar I can
add it to the set I normally use.

Cheers,
Rafael
