An application that erroneously tries to repeatedly dlopen("a.out", ...)
may hit assertion failure:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-tls.c: 474: _dl_allocate_tls_init:
Assertion `listp != ((void *)0)' failed!
dlopen() actually fails with "./a.out: cannot dynamically load executable",
but it does so after incrementing dl_tls_max_dtv_idx.
Once we run out of TLS_SLOTINFO_SURPLUS (62), we exit with above assertion
failure.

[BZ #16634]
* elf/dl-load.c (open_verify): Add mode parameter.
Error early when ET_EXEC and mode does not have __RTLD_OPENEXEC.
(open_path): Change from boolean 'secure' to complete flag 'mode'
(_dl_map_object): Adjust.
* elf/Makefile (tests): Add tst-dlopen-aout.
* elf/tst-dlopen-aout.c: New test.
