Fix ia64 executable stack default (bug 22156).
As per https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-09/msg01220.html ia64 defaults to non-executable stacks in the Linux kernel (furthermore, the use of function descriptors means that trampolines for nested function pointers never need an executable stack). glibc however defines DEFAULT_STACK_PERMS to include PF_X for that architecture, meaning (a) elf/check-execstack fails and (b) (from code inspection, not tested, but this is why I think this is a user-visible bug) thread stacks are unnecessarily mapped with execute permission. This patch fixes the DEFAULT_STACK_PERMS definition in question. Tested (compilation only) with build-many-glibcs.py for ia64. This fixes the check-execstack failure. [BZ #22156] * sysdeps/ia64/stackinfo.h (DEFAULT_STACK_PERMS): Likewise.
