    Fix duplocale (libc/locale/duplocale.c) which fails to properly call __loadlocale
    
    Problem:
    
      After  passing  locales  created  by  'duplocale'   to   'uselocale',
      referencing   'MB_CUR_MAX',   which   is   actually   expanded    to
      '__locale_mb_cur_max()' by preprocessors, causes segmentation faults.
      Direct use of locales from 'newlocale' does not  cause  the  problem.
      This is the problem of 'duplocale'.
    
      $ echo $LANG
      ja_JP.UTF-8
      $ cat test.c
      #include <stdlib.h>
      #include <locale.h>
    
      volatile int var;
    
      int main(void) {
        locale_t const loc = newlocale(LC_ALL_MASK, "", NULL);
        locale_t const dup = duplocale(loc);
        locale_t const old = uselocale(dup);
        var = MB_CUR_MAX; /* <-- crashes here */
        uselocale(old);
        freelocale(dup);
        freelocale(loc);
        return 0;
      }
      $ gcc test.c
      $ ./a
      Segmentation fault (core dumped)
    
      # Note: "core dumped" in the above message was  actually written  in
      # Japanese, but I translated the part to post a mail in English.
    
    Bug:
    
      In the beginning of '__loadlocale' (newlib/libc/locale/locale.c:501),
      there is a code which checks if the operations can be skipped:
    
      > /* Avoid doing everything twice if nothing has changed. */
      > if (!strcmp (new_locale, loc->categories[category]))
      >   return loc->categories[category];
    
      While,   in   the   function   '_duplocale_r'    (newlib/libc/locale/
      duplocale.c), '__loadlocale'  is  called  as  in  the  quoted  codes:
    
      > /* If the object is not a "C" locale category, copy it.  Just call
      >    __loadlocale.  It knows what to do to replicate the category. */
      > tmp_locale.lc_cat[i].ptr = NULL;
      > tmp_locale.lc_cat[i].buf = NULL;
      > if (!__loadlocale (&tmp_locale, i, tmp_locale.categories[i]))
      >   goto error;
    
      This call of '__loadlocale' results in the skip check being
    
        !strcmp(tmp_locale.categories[i], tmp_locale.categories[i]),
    
      which is always true. This  means  that  the  actual  operations  of
      '__loadLocale' will never be performed for 'duplocale'.
    
    Fix:
    
      The call of '__loadlocale' in '_duplocale_r' is modified.
