Summary:
Before, superfluous warnings were emitted for the following two cases:
1) When from symbol was in a discarded section.
The profile should be thought of as affiliated to the section.
It makes sense to ignore the profile if the section is discarded.
2) When to symbol was in a shared object.
The object file containing the profile may not know about the to
symbol, which can reside in another object file (useful profile) or a
shared object (not useful as symbols in the shared object are fixed
and unorderable). It makes sense to ignore the profile from the object
file.
Note, the warning when to symbol was undefined was suppressed in
D53044, which is still useful for --symbol-ordering-file=
This patch silences the warnings. The check is actually more relaxed (no
warnings if either From or To is not Defined) for simplicity and I don't
see a compelling reason to warn on more cases.

Summary:
Add a condition UnresolvedPolicy::Ignore to elf::warnUnorderedSymbol to suppress Sym->isUndefined() warnings from both
1) --symbol-ordering-file=
2) .llvm.call-graph-profile
If --unresolved-symbols=ignore-all is used,
no "undefined symbol" error/warning is emitted. It makes sense to not warn unorderable symbols.
Otherwise,
If an executable is linked, the default policy UnresolvedPolicy::ErrorOrWarn will issue a "undefined symbol" error. The unorderable symbol warning is redundant.
If a shared object is linked, it is possible that only part of object files are used and some symbols are left undefined. The warning is not very necessary.
In particular for .llvm.call-graph-profile, when linking a shared object, a call graph profile may contain undefined symbols. This case generated a warning before but it will be suppressed by this patch.
