[PATCH 1/2][BZ #14547] Fix CVE-2012-4412

[Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh at redhat dot com>]

Hi,

This is the first part of the fix for CVE-2012-4412.  This patch
implements non-caching fallbacks for traversal of sequences in the
string and the comparison function.  These are used whenever the
malloc call fails to allocate memory for the caching arrays.

I tested these by commenting out the caching allocation bits to force
use of the non-caching functions and then ran the testsuite to ensure
that nothing fails.  Tested for x86_64 and i686.

	[BZ #14547]
	* string/strcoll_l.c (coll_seq): New members rule, idx,
	save_idx and back_us.
	(get_next_seq_nocache): New function.
	(do_compare_nocache): New function.
	(STRCOLL): Use get_next_seq_nocache and do_compare_nocache
	when malloc fails.
