[lld] [LLD][LoongArch] Preserve R_LARCH_MARK_LA with --emit-relocs (PR #192033)

[via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/wangleiat created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/192033

`R_LARCH_MARK_LA` was dropped during scanSectionImpl(), so it was
missing from --emit-relocs output. Route it through the relax hint path
to preserve it.
