[PATCH v2 3/6] elf: Fix failure handling in _dl_map_object_from_fd

There are many failure paths that call lose to do local cleanups
in _dl_map_object_from_fd, but it did not clean everything.

Handle l_phdr, l_libname and mapped segments in the common failure
handling code.

There are various bits that may not be cleaned properly on failure
(e.g. executable stack, tlsid, incomplete dl_map_segments).
