The issue was that linkAppendingVarProto does the full linking job, including
deleting the old dst variable. The fix is just to call it and return early
if we have a GV with appending linkage.
original message:
Refactor duplicated code in liking GlobalValues.
There is quiet a bit of logic that is common to any GlobalValue but was
duplicated for Functions, GlobalVariables and GlobalAliases.
While at it, merge visibility even when comdats are used, fixing pr21415.
