[PATCH][BZ #15533] Avoid unnecessary slowdown from profiling with audit

I don't like the O(n) check on every _dl_relocate_object. I think a better
approach, which would improve performance of all the hooked places and not
just PLT resolution, would be to maintain a set of flags in a bitmask
variable next to _dl_audit. The setup code in dl_main would set the bit
for a given hook when any audit module defines that hook. Then all the
places that loop over the _dl_audit list to check if each one has a
particular hook would guard that loop with a check of the bit corresponding
to that hook.
Thanks,
Roland
