Fix failures in MMIX linker tests introduced by fix for PR 21665.

	PR binutils/21665
	* objdump.c (disassemble_section): Move check for an overlarge
	section to just before the allocation of memory.  Do not check
	section size against file size, but instead use an arbitrary 2Gb
	limit.  Issue a warning message if the section is too big.

+     The call to xmalloc below will fail if too much memory is requested,
+     which will catch the problem in the normal use case.  But if a memory
+     checker is in use, eg valgrind or sanitize, then an exception will
+     be still generated, so we try to catch the problem first.
+
+     Unfortunately there is no simple way to determine how much memory can
+     be allocated by calling xmalloc.  So instead we use a simple, arbitrary
+     limit of 2Gb.  Hopefully this should be enough for most users.  If
+     someone does start trying to disassemble sections larger then 2Gb in
+     size they will doubtless complain and we can increase the limit.  */
