[PATCH] elf: Never use the file ID of the main executable [BZ #24900]


If the loader is invoked explicitly and loads the main executable,
it stores the file ID of the main executable in l_file_id.  This
information is not available if the main excutable is loaded by the
kernel, so this is another case where the two cases differ.

This enhances commit 23d2e5faf0bca6d9b31bef4aa162b95ee64cbfc6
("elf: Self-dlopen failure with explict loader invocation
[BZ #24900]").

	[BZ #24900]
	* elf/dl-load.c (_dl_map_object_from_fd): Do not use the file ID
	when loading the executable as part of an explicit loader
	invocation.
