Fangrui Song d2ef8c1f2c [ThinLTO] Drop dso_local if a GlobalVariable satisfies isDeclarationForLinker()
dso_local leads to direct access even if the definition is not within this compilation unit (it is
still in the same linkage unit). On ELF, such a relocation (e.g. R_X86_64_PC32) referencing a
STB_GLOBAL STV_DEFAULT object can cause a linker error in a -shared link.

If the linkage is changed to available_externally, the dso_local flag should be dropped, so that no
direct access will be generated.

The current behavior is benign, because -fpic does not assume dso_local
(clang/lib/CodeGen/CodeGenModule.cpp:shouldAssumeDSOLocal).
If we do that for -fno-semantic-interposition (D73865), there will be an
R_X86_64_PC32 linker error without this patch.
