[patch] ld.so.8: typo in LD_USE_LOAD_BIAS description

Hi,

There is a small typo in the ld.so man page on master (which I found
on http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man8/ld.so.8.html).

The diff is attached as well as copied below.

(Michael, sorry for the resend; the original e-mail was bounced as
spam for containing HTML. If that's by design, it might help to say
you must send as plaintext only on
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/patches.html)

Best regards,
-Jessica
