    arm: Remove wrong ldr from _dl_start_user (BZ 31339)
    
    The commit 49d877a80b29d3002887b084eec6676d9f5fec18 (arm: Remove
    _dl_skip_args usage) removed the _SKIP_ARGS literal, which was
    previously loader to r4 on loader _start.  However, the cleanup did not
    remove the following 'ldr r4, [sl, r4]' on _dl_start_user, used to check
    to skip the arguments after ld self-relocations.
    
    In my testing, the kernel initially set r4 to 0, which makes the
    ldr instruction just read the _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.  However, since r4
    is a callee-saved register; a different runtime might not zero
    initialize it and thus trigger an invalid memory access.
    
    Checked on arm-linux-gnu.
