The function _bfd_elf_get_dynamic_reloc_section was used to find the dynamic relocation section by name. However, the section is already available via elf_section_data(sec)->sreloc after _bfd_elf_make_dynamic_reloc_section is called. This commit removes the function and updates architecture-specific code to use the elf_section_data method, making the code simpler.
