[glibc/fw/bug25097] Avoid zero-length array at the end of struct link_map [BZ #25097]


https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;h=6d241445b417089ac7d26976f520f35d3442abc0

commit 6d241445b417089ac7d26976f520f35d3442abc0
Author: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>

    Avoid zero-length array at the end of struct link_map [BZ #25097]
    
    l_audit ends up as an internal array with _rtld_global, and GCC 10
    warns about this.
    
    This commit does not change the layout of _rtld_global, so it is
    suitable for backporting.  Future changes could allocate more of the
    audit state dynamically and remove it from always-allocated data
    structures, to optimize the common case of inactive auditing.
