ppc32 profiling of shared libx

[Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com>]

Profiling doesn't work at all on ppc32 -msecure-plt shared libraries,
and not reliably on PIEs.  The problem is that a ppc32 PIC PLT call
stub uses r30 (GOT pointer) to load the function address from the PLT,
r30 being set up in the function prologue, but _mcount is called
before the function prologue.  So chances are good that r30 will be
pointing to the executable GOT when trying to call _mcount in a shared
lib function.  A similary problem can occur in a PIE if a shared lib
calls a function in the executable.

The proper fix is to move _mcount to libc_nonshared.a for ppc32, but
until everyone has this fix in their libc we can just force bss-plt.

	* elf32-ppc.c (ppc_elf_select_plt_layout): Force bss-plt when
	shared and call to _mcount will go via plt.
