[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH 03/17] powerpc: remove .fixup test

This was introduced by commit 244615197469dd6fe75ae082f38424b97c79aeaf, but it
fails in a minimal SPL build where the only thing in arch/powerpc/lib is
cache.c, which apparently doesn't generate any fixup records.

If this check is really still needed, it should be moved somewhere more
appropriate, but given that it's been three years and no other
architecture does a test like this, I think we can remove it.  It would
have been nice if the original commit said how old the problematic
toolchains were.
