There is a real bug in the note parser.  It doesn't check each item.   This
test should fail on CET SDV since IBT is on and endbr64 is missing
in foo.  But it passed:

[hjl@gnu-cet-1 bad-property-1]$ cat y.S
#include <cet.h>

    .text
    .globl    main
    .type    main, @function
main:
    .cfi_startproc
    endbr64
    subq    $8, %rsp
    .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16
    movq    $foo, %rdi
    call    *%rdi
    xorl    %eax, %eax
    addq    $8, %rsp
    .cfi_def_cfa_offset 8
    ret
    .cfi_endproc
    .size    main, .-main
    .p2align 4,,15
    .type    foo, @function
foo:
    .cfi_startproc
    ret
    .cfi_endproc
    .size    foo, .-foo

#if __SIZEOF_PTRDIFF_T__  == 8
# define ALIGN 3
#elif __SIZEOF_PTRDIFF_T__  == 4
# define ALIGN 2
#endif

    .section ".note.gnu.property", "a"
    .p2align ALIGN

    .long 1f - 0f        /* name length */
    .long 5f - 2f        /* data length */
    .long 5            /* note type */
0:    .asciz "GNU"        /* vendor name */
1:
    .p2align ALIGN
2:
    .long 1            /* pr_type.  */
    .long 4f - 3f    /* pr_datasz.  */
3:
    .long 0x800
    .long 0x800
4:
    .p2align ALIGN
5:

    .section    .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits
[hjl@gnu-cet-1 bad-property-1]$ make y
gcc -fcf-protection    -c -o y.o y.S
gcc -fcf-protection -g -o y y.o
[hjl@gnu-cet-1 build-x86_64-linux]$
../../glibc-cet-O3/build-x86_64-linux/elf/ld.so --library-path .
~/bugs/libc/bad-property-1/y
[hjl@gnu-cet-1 build-x86_64-linux]$

This patch fixes it by properly checking each item and stops searching
when a GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_AND property is found
regardless if its size is correct or not.  Linker won't generate bad
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_AND.   But people may do crazy
things.

Starting program:
/export/build/gnu/tools-build/glibc-cet/build-x86_64-linux/elf/ld.so
--library-path . ~/bugs/libc/bad-property-1/y

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

End of assembler dump.

OK for master?

Thanks.
