nptl: Fix pthread_getattr_np when modules with execstack are allowed (BZ 32897)
The BZ 32653 fix (12a497c716f0a06be5946cabb8c3ec22a079771e) kept the stack pointer zeroing from make_main_stack_executable on _dl_make_stack_executable. However, previously the 'stack_endp' pointed to temporary variable created before the call of _dl_map_object_from_fd; while now we use the __libc_stack_end directly. Since pthread_getattr_np relies on correct __libc_stack_end, if _dl_make_stack_executable is called (for instance, when glibc.rtld.execstack=2 is set) __libc_stack_end will be set to zero, and the call will always fail. The __libc_stack_end zero was used a mitigation hardening, but since 52a01100ad011293197637e42b5be1a479a2f4ae it is used solely on pthread_getattr_np code. So there is no point in zeroing anymore. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org>
