[llvm] [BOLT][AArch64] Skip R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_CALL relocation (PR #161610)

[Maksim Panchenko via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/maksfb created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/161610

R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_CALL is a relocation emitted as a hint for a linker to replace `blr r` instruction with nop. BOLT does not currently require any special handling for it.

Note that previously existing extraction of the relocated value was incorrect.

Subject: [PATCH] [BOLT][AArch64] Skip R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_CALL relocation

R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_CALL is a relocation emitted as a hint for a linker to
replace `blr r` instruction with nop. BOLT does not currently require
any special handling for it.

Note that previously existing extraction of the relocated value was
incorrect.
