ClosedPublic

Summary

For symbols that has linkonce_odr linkage and unnamed_addr, it can be
auto hide by linker to avoid weak external symbols. Teach ThinLTO to
perform auto hide so it can safely promote linkonce_odr to weak symbols
without breaking this nice property.

LGTM although I have a suggestion on where to move the new code.

Suggest moving the new check down into this else, which is the only condition under which it could be true, to avoid unnecessary checking.

Move the check later so it is only check when needed.
