[PATCH] rs6000: Avoid -fpatchable-function-entry* regressions on powerpc64 be [PR98125]

Hi!

The SECTION_LINK_ORDER changes broke powerpc64-linux ELFv1.  Seems
that the assembler/linker relies on the symbol mentioned for the
"awo" section to be in the same section as the symbols mentioned in
the relocations in that section (i.e. labels for the patchable area
in this case).  That is the case for most targets, including powerpc-linux
32-bit or powerpc64 ELFv2 (that one has -fpatchable-function-entry*
support broken for other reasons and it doesn't seem to be a regression).
But it doesn't work on powerpc64-linux ELFv1.
We emit:
        .section        ".opd","aw"
        .align 3
_Z3foov:
        .quad   .L._Z3foov,.TOC.@tocbase,0
        .previous
        .type   _Z3foov, @function
.L._Z3foov:
        .section        __patchable_function_entries,"awo",@progbits,_Z3foov
        .align 3
        .8byte  .LPFE1
        .section        .text._Z3foov,"axG",@progbits,_Z3foov,comdat
.LPFE1:
        nop
.LFB0:
        .cfi_startproc
and because _Z3foov is in the .opd section rather than the function text
section, it doesn't work.

I'm afraid I don't know what exactly should be done, whether e.g.
it could use
        .section        __patchable_function_entries,"awo",@progbits,.L._Z3foov
instead, or whether the linker should be changed to handle it as is, or
something else.

But because we have a P1 regression that didn't see useful progress over the
4 months since it has been filed and we don't really have much time, below
is an attempt to do a targetted reversion of H.J's patch, basically act as
if HAVE_GAS_SECTION_LINK_ORDER is never true for powerpc64-linux ELFv1,
but for 32-bit or 64-bit ELFv2 keep working as is.
This would give us time to resolve it for GCC 12 properly.

Bootstrapped/regtested on powerpc64-linux (regtest with both -m32/-m64).
