[PATCH 3/3] elf: avoid stack allocation in dl_open_worker


As the sort was removed, there's no need to keep a separate map of
links. Instead, when relocating objects iterate over l_initfini
directly.

This allows us to remove the loop copying l_initfini elements into
map. We still need a loop to identify the first and last elements that
need relocation.

Tested by running the testsuite on x86_64.
