[PATCH] elf: Do not completely clear reused namespace in dlmopen (bug 29600)

[Florian Weimer]

The data in the _ns_debug member must be preserved, otherwise
_dl_debug_initialize enters an infinite loop.  To be conservative,
only clear the libc_map member for now, to fix bug 29528.

Fixes commit d0e357ff45a75553dee3b17ed7d303bfa544f6fe
("elf: Call __libc_early_init for reused namespaces (bug 29528)"),
by reverting most of it.

Tested on i686-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.
