[AArch64] Remove useless and incorrect assertion
The outer caller elf_link_output_extsym in elflink.c is a traverse function on all external symbol, and it will only call *finish_dynamic_symbol if some conditions is meet. It is executed conditionally. If the condition to trigger that assertion is satisified, it then won't satify the outer check in finish_dynamic_symbol, so *finish_dynamic_symbol won't be called that the assertion is expected to be dead code. If elf_link_output_extsym is a traverse function that unconditionally called on external symbols decided to be exported, then an assertion to make sure these symbols are in sane status might make sense. bfd/ * elfnn-aarch64.c (elfNN_aarch64_finish_dynamic_symbol): Remove the sanity check at the head of this function.
