The idea is too keep this patch in Fedora 25 and beyond even if it is 
revert upstream:

commit 2ba3cfa1607c36613f3b30fb1ae4ec530245ce64
Author: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>
Date:   Fri Jun 10 10:46:05 2016 +0200

    malloc: Remove __malloc_initialize_hook from the API [BZ #19564]

The upstream revert has not happened, and it is unclear whether it will 
before the release, so no further action is necessary for the current 
master.

Thanks,
Florian
