dl_iterate_phdr() omits ld-elf.so

Hello,

While experimenting with dl_iterate_phdr(3), I noticed that it doesn't
include the runtime linker itself in the list of objects. This is
inconsistent with related interfaces such as <pid>/map in procfs, and
kinfo_getvmmap(3), so it seems incorrect to me that rtld is excluded
from the list of callback arguments.

Is there a reason for this behaviour? If not, does anyone have thoughts
on the diff below which fixes this?

Thanks,
-Mark
