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.
