    Avoid accessing corrupted stack from __stack_chk_fail [BZ #21752]

    __libc_argv[0] points to address on stack and __libc_secure_getenv
    accesses environment variables which are on stack.  We should avoid
    accessing stack when stack is corrupted.

    This patch also renames function argument in __fortify_fail_abort
    from do_backtrace to need_backtrace to avoid confusion with do_backtrace
    from enum __libc_message_action.

        [BZ #21752]
        * debug/fortify_fail.c (__fortify_fail_abort): Don't pass down
        __libc_argv[0] if we aren't doing backtrace.  Rename do_backtrace
        to need_backtrace.
        * sysdeps/posix/libc_fatal.c (__libc_message): Don't call
        __libc_secure_getenv if we aren't doing backtrace.
