glibc-2.24: Fix CVE-2016-6323

[No upstream tracking] -- https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20435

arm: mark __startcontext as .cantunwind, GNU

Glibc bug where the makecontext function would create
an execution context which is incompatible with the unwinder,
causing it to hang when the generation of a backtrace is attempted.

Upstream-Status: Backport [https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;h=9e2ff6c9cc54c0b4402b8d49e4abe7000fde7617]
