rtld: limit self loading check to normal mode only

Commit glibc-2.14~10 disallowed rtld self loading to avoid a segfault
that used to happen when rtld was loading itself in normal mode.
Unfortunately, that commit disallowed all modes of self loading,
including those that used to work before.  This change limits the check
for self loading to normal mode only, so that instruments like ldd could
handle rtld properly.
