    MIPS/readelf: Simplify GOT[1] data availability check

    Unavailable data is handled gracefully in MIPS GOT processing done by
    `print_mips_got_entry', so all that is needed in special GOT[1] handling
    is to verify whether data can be retrieved for the purpose of the GNU
    marker check done with `byte_get'.  Remove the extra error reporting
    code then, introduced with commit 75ec1fdbb797 ("Fix runtime seg-fault
    in readelf when parsing a corrupt MIPS binary.") in the course of
    addressing PR binutils/21344, and defer the error case to regular local
    GOT entry processing.

        binutils/
        * readelf.c (process_mips_specific): Remove error reporting from
        GOT[1] processing.
