[PATCH] Remove zero terminator for .eh_frame in libc.so [BZ #22053]

elf/sofini.c has a zero terminator for .eh_frame in libc.so.  It was
added before -eh-frame-hdr is added to ld.  Since -eh-frame-hdr is
always used to build libc.so, zero terminator in elf/sofini.c can be
removed.

Tested on x86-64.  OK for master?
