Subject: [PATCH] arm: Remove wrong ldr from _dl_start_user (BZ 31339)

The commit 49d877a80b29d3002887b084eec6676d9f5fec18 (arm: Remove
_dl_skip_args usage) removed the _SKIP_ARGS literal, which was
previously loader to r4 on loader _start.  However, the cleanup did not
remove the following 'ldr r4, [sl, r4]' on _dl_start_user, used to check
to skip the arguments after ld self-relocations.

In my testing, the kernel initially set r4 to 0, which makes the
ldr instruction just read the _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.  However, since r4
is a callee-saved register; a different runtime might not zero
initialize it and thus trigger an invalid memory access.

Checked on arm-linux-gnu.
