Patch adding a suppression file for musl

SUMMARY

Valgrind doesn't have a default suppression file for musl and therefore reports false-positive memory leaks for dynlink
(See https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2017/06/15/4). This bug report contains a patch adding such a suppression file.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Consider the following C program:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int
main(void)
{
	char *str;

	str = strdup("foo");
	printf("%s\n", str);
	free(str);
	return 0;
}

Compile and link this program against musl libc and invoke it using valgrind.
