    dlopen: Fix issues related to NODELETE handling and relocations

    The assumption behind the assert in activate_nodelete was wrong:

    Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 459: activate_nodelete:
    Assertion `!imap->l_init_called || imap->l_type != lt_loaded' failed! (edit)

    It can happen that an already-loaded object that is in the local
    scope is promoted to NODELETE status, via binding to a unique
    symbol.

    Similarly, it is possible that such NODELETE promotion occurs to
    an already-loaded object from the global scope. This is why the
    loop in activate_nodelete has to cover all objects in the namespace
    of the new object.

    In do_lookup_unique, it could happen that the NODELETE status of
    an already-loaded object was overwritten with a pending NODELETE
    status. As a result, if dlopen fails, this could cause a loss of
    the NODELETE status of the affected object, eventually resulting
    in an incorrect unload.

    Fixes commit f63b73814f74032c0e5d0a83300e3d864ef905e5 ("Remove all
    loaded objects if dlopen fails, ignoring NODELETE [BZ #20839]").
