After the patch, the divmod libfunc is not available if the target
doesn't explicitly set it.
So by default optab_libfunc ([us]divmod_optab, mode) would return NULL
instead of bogus libfunc
constructed with gen_int_libfunc, but if the target has registered it
with set_optab_libfunc, then
the target-specific libfunc name would be returned.
