[4/4] aarch64: Remove the bti link_map field [BZ #26831]

Commit Message

Szabolcs Nagy Nov. 3, 2020, 10:26 a.m. UTC

The bti link_map field is no longer necessary because PROT_BTI
is applied at note processing time immediately instead of in
_dl_open_check based on the bti field.

This is a separate patch that is not expected to be backported
to avoid changing the link_map layout that is libc internal ABI.
