[PATCH] powerpc: Restore NULL check on _rtld_global_ro in INIT_ARCH [BZ #34503]

Commit 21841f0d562f ("PowerPC: Influence cpu/arch hwcap features via
GLIBC_TUNABLES") changed the INIT_ARCH() macro used by powerpc32/power4
and (via a one-line include) powerpc64 multiarch IFUNC resolvers to
read hwcap and hwcap2 through a direct

    &GLRO(dl_powerpc_cpu_features)

reference, instead of the previous __GLRO() wrapper.  The __GLRO() macro
performs a volatile NULL check on _rtld_global_ro, which matters because
IFUNC resolvers can run before _rtld_global_ro has been relocated for the
current library.

This regression triggers when a shared library's IFUNC symbol from libm
is resolved via BIND_NOW (full RELRO) before libm's own GOT is relocated:
the resolver's INIT_ARCH() then dereferences a NULL _rtld_global_ro and
segfaults at the hwcap load.  The concrete failure seen was rsyslogd
crashing on startup on powerpc64 (e5500, BE) with

    rsyslogd -> librsyslog -> libfastjson -> modf() IFUNC in libm

when libfastjson lacked a DT_NEEDED on libm, so libm was relocated after
libfastjson's IFUNC resolvers ran.

Restore the __GLRO()-based access for both hwcap and hwcap2, matching
the pre-2.41 behaviour and how use_cached_memopt is already read in the
same macro.  This is a no-op once _rtld_global_ro is fully initialised
and simply reinstates the early-startup NULL guard.
