    Fix remaining return type of ifunc resolver declaration
    
    Since Martin Sebor's commit
    
    commit ee4e992ebe5f9712faedeefe8958b67d61eaa0f2
    Author: Martin Sebor <msebor@redhat.com>
    Date:   Tue Aug 22 09:35:23 2017 -0600
    
        Declare ifunc resolver to return a pointer to the same type as the target
        function to help GCC detect incompatibilities between the two when it's
        enhanced to do so.
    
    builds for powerpc64le fail in the declaration of some ifunc resolvers,
    because the ifunc is declared with unmatching return types.  One of the
    declarations comes from the __ifunc_resolver macro, which was patched by
    the aforementioned commit:
    
        /* Helper / base  macros for indirect function symbols.  */
        #define __ifunc_resolver(type_name, name, expr, arg, init, classifier) \
          classifier inhibit_stack_protector                                   \
          __typeof (type_name) *name##_ifunc (arg)                             \
    
    whereas the other comes from the unpatched __ifunc macro when
    HAVE_GCC_IFUNC is not defined:
    
        # define __ifunc(type_name, name, expr, arg, init)                     \
          extern __typeof (type_name) name;                                    \
          void *name##_ifunc (arg) __asm__ (#name);                            \
    
    This patch changes the return type of the ifunc resolver in the __ifunc
    macro, so that it matches the return type of the target function,
    similarly to what the aforementioned commit does.
    
    Tested for powerpc64le and s390x with unpatched GCC.
    
    	* include/libc-symbols.h: [!defined HAVE_GCC_IFUNC] (__ifunc):
    	Change the return type of the ifunc resolver to match the return
    	type of the target function.
