elf: Partially initialize ld.so after static dlopen (bug 20802)
After static dlopen, a copy of ld.so is loaded into the inner
namespace, but that copy is not initialized at all.  Some
architectures run into serious problems as result, which is why the
_dl_var_init mechanism was invented.  With libpthread moving into
libc and parts into ld.so, more architectures impacted, so it makes
sense to switch to a generic mechanism which performs the partial
initialization.

As a result, getauxval now works after static dlopen (bug 20802).
