Fortran-tested on aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.  OK for master?

-- >8 --

When the result of a non-inlined intrinsic function is used in a
reallocating assignment, a fresh unallocated array descriptor is created
for passing as function result to the library function.  Move the code that
creates that fresh descriptor to its own function in trans-descriptor.cc.

	PR fortran/122521

gcc/fortran/ChangeLog:

	* trans-expr.cc (fcncall_realloc_result): Move descriptor
	creation and initialization...
	* trans-descriptor.cc
	(gfc_create_unallocated_library_result_descriptor): ... here as a
	new function.
	* trans-descriptor.h
	(gfc_create_unallocated_library_result_descriptor): New declaration.
