elf: Avoid unnecessary slowdown from profiling with audit (BZ#15533)
The rtld-audit interfaces introduces a slowdown due to enabling
profiling instrumentation (as if LD_AUDIT implied LD_PROFILE).
However, instrumenting is only necessary if one of audit libraries
provides PLT callbacks (la_pltenter or la_pltexit symbols).  Otherwise,
the slowdown can be avoided.

The following patch adjusts the logic that enables profiling to iterate
over all audit modules and check if any of those provides a PLT hook.
To keep la_symbind to work even without PLT callbacks, _dl_fixup now
calls the audit callback if the modules implements it.

Co-authored-by: Alexander Monakov <amonakov@ispras.ru>

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.
