elf: Always set l in _dl_init_paths (bug 23462)
After d1d5471579eb0426671bf94f2d71e61dfb204c30 ("Remove dead DL_DST_REQ_STATIC code.") we always setup the link map l to make the static and shared cases the same. The bug is that in elf/dl-load.c (_dl_init_paths) we conditionally set l only in the #ifdef SHARED case, but unconditionally use it later. The simple solution is to remove the #ifdef SHARED conditional, because it's no longer needed, and unconditionally setup l for both the static and shared cases. A regression test is added to run a static binary with LD_LIBRARY_PATH='$ORIGIN' which crashes before the fix and runs after the fix. Co-Authored-By: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit 332421312576bd7095e70589154af99b124dd2d1)
