Fangrui Song 2cb8d5ca3a [Pseudo Probe] Do not place functions in nodeduplicate COMDATs ...

For a function not in an IR COMDAT, currently we place it into a nodeduplicate IR
COMDAT so that its text section and its associated .pseudo_probe section will be
in the same section group, which can be retained or discarded by the linker as a
unit. However, the section group wastes space.

After D153189 uses SHF_LINK_ORDER to ensure a .pseudo_probe section will be
discarded when its associated text section is discarded, we can remove the
nodeduplicate IR change.

In the following example, the .pseudo_probe associated with .text.f is discarded as expected.
```
clang -c -ffunction-sections -fpseudo-probe-for-profiling -xc =(printf 'void _start(){} void f(){}') -o a.o
ld.lld --gc-sections --print-gc-sections a.o
```
