6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 54a11654de163994e32b24e3aa90ef81f4a3184d ]

Commit e4412739472b ("Documentation: raise minimum supported version of
binutils to 2.25") allows us to remove the checks for old binutils.

There is no more user for ld-ifversion. Remove it as well.
