Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [ThinLTO] Simplify checking for single external copy
 (NFCI)

Replace a loop over all summary copies with a simple check for a single
externally available copy of a symbol. The usage of this result has
changed since it was added and we now only need to know if there is a
single one.
