[PATCH v2 1/6] aarch64: Fix missing BTI protection from dependencies [BZ #26926]

The _dl_open_check and _rtld_main_check hooks are not called on the
dependencies of a loaded module, so BTI protection was missed on
every module other than the main executable and directly dlopened
libraries.

The fix just iterates over dependencies to enable BTI.

Fixes bug 26926.
