Revert "Additional icache paranoia: non-PLT relocations can modify the text segment."
reloc_nonplt_object, and thus reloc_non_plt, only ever handles data
relocations, so this paranoia is completely unfounded and only has the
effect of significantly slowing down program startup for binaries with
large amounts of code, like Clang.
If this breaks any systems, that would likely be due to insufficient
flushing in the pmap implementation for executable mappings, as this
existing rtld behaviour would mask any such bugs.
This reverts commit 4b51c69976fd84e93ec7695858375c8150c4fe61.
