[PATCH] x86_64/cet: fix tst-shstk-legacy-1{f,g} tests [BZ #31877]

The tst-shstk-legacy-1f and tst-shstk-legacy-1g tests depend on the
tst-shstk-legacy-mod-1.so module to test that legacy shadow stack code
in init_array does not trigger a segfault in tst-shstk-legacy-1f, while
it does trigger a segfault in tst-shstk-legacy-1g. However, the module
is built but never loaded by the tests.

Load it using LD_PRELOAD. When glibc is configured with --enable-cet,
this allows tst-shstk-legacy-1g to pass on systems with kernel and
hardware support for shadow stacks.
