[v3] dl-load: add memory barrier before updating the next

  [BZ #21349]: race condition between dl_open and rtld lazy symbol resolve.

This patch adds C11 memory barrier before updating the liblist next.

Issue Fix: race condition between add_name_to_object  & _dl_name_match_p.
One threads calling dlopen which further calls add_name_to_object &
other thread trying to resolve RTLD_LAZY symbols through
_dl_runtime_resolve which further calls.

_dl_name_match_p checks if libname->next is valid, then it assumes
libname->next->name to be valid. Also add_name_to_object initialized
name first and then sets valid next pointer.

This patch avoids any reorder of instruction when next is set before
name to avoid any race.

v1 -> v2: use C11 atomics rather than direct memory barriers.
v2 -> v3: use comments for barriers and enter Bugzilla ID.

Please remove the redundant parens.

Likewise.

Please address my comments on v2 of your patch too.
