[PATCH] Don't try to free rpath strings allocated during startup

The stub malloc from dl-minimal.c is used during all of startup until
ld.so is re-relocated, so the rpath string allocated so far cannot be
freed in the freeres routine.

	* elf/rtld.c (dl_main): Set GLRO(dl_init_all_dirs) just before
	re-relocationg ld.so.
