[clang-tidy]improve performance-unnecessary-value-param performance (#128383)

Tolerate fix-it breaking compilation when functions is used as pointers.
`isReferencedOutsideOfCallExpr` will visit the whole translate unit for
each matched function decls. It will waste lots of cpu time in some big
cpp files.
But the benefits of this validation are limited. Lots of function usage
are out of current translation unit.

After removing this validation step, the check profiling changes from
5.7 to 1.1 in SemaExprCXX.cpp, which is similar to version 18.
