PR ld/26288: Revert obsolete part of PR ld/26047 fix

Revert commit a3fc941881e4 ("Stop the linker from accepting executable
ELF files as inputs to other links."), which has been made obsolete by
commit a87e1817a435 ("Have the linker fail if any attempt to link in an
executable is made.").  An earlier check triggers added with the latter
commit making the piece of code removed dead.
