    elf: Do not signal LA_ACT_CONSISTENT for an empty namespace [BZ #26076]
abe59f
    
abe59f
    The auditing interface identifies namespaces by their first loaded
abe59f
    module.  Once the namespace is empty, it is no longer possible to signal
abe59f
    LA_ACT_CONSISTENT for it because the first loaded module is already gone
abe59f
    at that point.
