Unless pointer_equality_needed is set then set st_value to be zero
for undefined symbols.

bfd/ChangeLog:

2015-02-03  Will Newton  <will.newton@linaro.org>

* elfnn-aarch64.c (elfNN_aarch64_finish_dynamic_symbol):
Set st_value to zero for undefined symbols if the reference
is weak or pointer_equality_needed is FALSE.
