      .Improved support for recursive `dlopen` calls in audit modules in `glibc`

      Previously, recursive ‎`dlopen` calls from auditors could trigger an ‎`r_state == RT_CONSISTENT` assertion failure in glibc’s ‎`dl-open.c`. As a consequence, applications exited unexpectedly when auditors were active. With this update, the dynamic linker reports consistency of its internal data structures earlier during an in-progress ‎`dlopen` call. As a result, recursive ‎`dlopen` operations for auditors are supported in more cases.

      Original description:
      What were you trying to do that didn't work?
          When a library is loaded within both an audit library and a application, ld.so catches an assertion and crashes.
      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:
          glibc-2.34-100.el9_4.2.x86_64
          glibc-common-2.34-100.el9_4.2.x86_64
      How reproducible:
          This behavior is consistently reproducible.
      Steps to reproduce
          1. Unpack reproducer tarball archive.
          2. Run make
          3. Observe behavior
      Expected results
          ld.so does not catch assertion and crash
      Actual results
          ld.so catches assertion and crashes.

      NOTE: This behavior has also been observed in the upstream Fedora distribution as well, a bug listing has already been filed for this.
