malloc: Remove LD_TRACE_PRELINKING usage from mtrace
The fix for BZ#22716 replacde LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS with LD_TRACE_PRELINKING so mtrace could record executable address position. To provide the same information, LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS is extended where a value or '2' also prints the executable address as well. It avoid adding another loader environment variable to be used solely for mtrace. The vDSO will be printed as a default library (with '=>' pointing the same name), which is ok since both mtrace and ldd already handles it. The mtrace script is changed to also parse the new format. To correctly support PIE and non-PIE executables, both the default mtrace address and the one calculated as used (it fixes mtrace for non-PIE exectuable as for BZ#22716 for PIE). Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@sourceware.org>
