The section and offset can be very helpful in diagnosing certian errors.
For example on a relocation overflow or misalignment diagnostic:
test.c:(function foo): relocation R_PPC64_ADDR16_DS out of range: ...
The function foo can have many R_PPC64_ADDR16_DS relocations. Adding the offset
and section will identify exactly which relocation is causing the failure.

Summary: This makes it conform to what the comment says. Otherwise when getErrPlace() is called afterwards, cast<InputSection>(D) will cause incompatible cast as MergeInputSection is not a subclass of InputSection.
