Re-mmap executable segments if possible instead of using mprotect
to add PROT_BTI. This allows using BTI protection with security
policies that prevent mprotect with PROT_EXEC.
If the fd of the ELF module is not available because it was kernel
mapped then mprotect is used and failures are ignored. To protect
the main executable even when mprotect is filtered the linux kernel
will have to be changed to add PROT_BTI to it.
The delayed failure reporting is mainly needed because currently
_dl_process_gnu_properties does not propagate failures such that
the required cleanups happen. Using the link_map_machine struct for
error propagation is not ideal, but this seemed to be the least
intrusive solution.
Fixes bug 26831.
