Fix incorrect double-checked locking related to _res_hconf.initialized.
_res_hconf.initialized was not suitable for use in a multi-threaded environment due to the lack of atomics and memory barriers. Use of it was also unnecessary because _res_hconf_init did the right thing by using __libc_once. This patch fixes the glibc-internal uses by just calling _res_hconf_init unconditionally, and switches to a release MO atomic store for _res_hconf.initialized to fix the glibc side of the synchronization problem (which will maintain backward compatibility, but cannot fix the lack of acquire MO on any glibc-external loads). [BZ #20477] * resolv/res_hconf.c (do_init): Use atomic access. * resolv/res_hconf.h: Add comments. * nscd/aicache.c (addhstaiX): Call _res_hconf_init unconditionally. * nss/getXXbyYY_r.c (REENTRANT_NAME): Likewise. * sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c (gaih_inet): Likewise.
