elf: Avoid some free (NULL) calls in _dl_update_slotinfo
This has been confirmed to work around some interposed mallocs. Here
is a discussion of the impact test ust/libc-wrapper/test_libc-wrapper
in lttng-tools:
New TLS usage in libgcc_s.so.1, compatibility impact
<https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/8734v1ieke.fsf@oldenburg.str.redhat.com/>
Reportedly, this patch also papers over a similar issue when tcmalloc
2.9.1 is not compiled with -ftls-model=initial-exec. Of course the
goal really should be to compile mallocs with the initial-exec TLS
model, but this commit appears to be a useful interim workaround.
Fixes commit

tls access after dlopen [BZ #19924]").
