Hi,

This is an independently useful patch that makes it easier to introduce
gcc_stablesort.

Swap responsibilities of gcc_qsort and qsort_chk: call the checking function
from the sorting function instead of wrapping gcc_qsort with qsort_chk.

        * gcc/sort.cc (gcc_qsort) [CHECKING_P]: Call qsort_chk.
        * gcc/system.h (qsort): Always redirect to gcc_qsort.  Update comment.
        * gcc/vec.c (qsort_chk): Do not call gcc_qsort.  Update comment.
