I'm walking out patch queue backwards in patchwork.

I wanted to note here that this 2020 patch has been superseded by
future work that improves the core DSO sorting algorithm.

We have switched to the new DSO sorting algorithm by default.

Please re-check the current glibc to see if it meeds your needs
or if we need to improve things further.

Cheers,
Carlos.
