ld.so: Examine GLRO to detect inactive loader [BZ #20204]
GLRO (_rtld_global_ro) is read-only after initialization and can
therefore not be patched at run time, unlike the hook table addresses
and their contents, so this is a desirable hardening feature.

The hooks are only needed if ld.so has not been initialized, and this
happens only after static dlopen (dlmopen uses a single ld.so object
across all namespaces).
