On ARM64, in -dynlink mode (building a shared library or a plugin),
accessing global variable is made using the GOT. Currently, the
GOT accessing instruction sequence our assembler generates doesn't
handle large offset well, so we don't fold the offset into loads
and stores in the compiler. Currently, the rewrite rules are
guarded with the -shared flag. However, the GOT access
instructions are only generated in the -dynlink mode (which
implies -shared, but not the other direction).
CL 445535 attempted to remove the guard althgether. But that
causes build failure for -dynlink mode for the reason above. This
CL changes it to guard specifically on -dynlink mode, allowing
the optimization in more cases (-shared but not -dynlink build
modes).
Updates #58826.
