elf/dl-load.c: Use __strdup.
During a refactoring pass several repeated blocks of code in dl-load.c
were turned into a call to a local function named local_strdup.  There
is no need for local_strdup, and the routines should instead call
__strdup.  This change does just that.  We call the internal symbol
__strdup because calling strdup is unsafe.  The user might be
using a standard that doesn't include strdup and may have defined this
symbol in their application. During a static link we might reference
the user defined symbol and crash if it doesn't implement a standards
conforming strdup. The resulting code is simpler to understand, and
makes it easier to debug.

No regressions on x86_64.
