The functions serve very similar purposes. The advantage of
__rtld_libc_freeres is that it is located within ld.so, so it is
more natural to poke at link map internals there.
This slightly regresses cleanup capabilities for statically linked
binaries. If that becomes a problem, we should start calling
__rtld_libc_freeres from __libc_freeres (perhaps after renaming it).
They are both used by __libc_freeres to free all library malloc
allocated resources to help tooling like mtrace or valgrind with
memory leak tracking.
The current scheme uses assembly markers and linker script entries
to consolidate the free routine function pointers in the RELRO segment
and to be freed buffers in BSS.
This patch changes it to use specific free functions for
libc_freeres_ptrs buffers and call the function pointer array directly
with call_function_static_weak.
It allows the removal of both the internal macros and the linker
script sections.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.
