When dlopen is being called, efforts have been made to improve
future lookup performance. This includes marking a search path
as non-existent using `stat`. However, if the root directory
is given as a search path, there exists a bug which erroneously
marks it as non-existing.
The bug is reproduced under the following sequence:
1. dlopen is called to open a shared library, with at least:
1) a dependency 'A.so' not directly under the '/' directory
(e.g. /lib/A.so), and
2) another dependency 'B.so' resides in '/'.
2. for this bug to reproduce, 'A.so' should be searched *before* 'B.so'.
3. it first tries to find 'A.so' in /, (e.g. /A.so):
- this will (obviously) fail,
- since it's the first time we have seen the '/' directory,
its 'status' is 'unknown'.
4. `buf[buflen - namelen - 1] = '\0'` is executed:
- it intends to remove the leaf and its final slash,
- because of the speciality of '/', its buflen == namelen + 1,
- it erroneously clears the entire buffer.
6. it then calls 'stat' with the empty buffer:
- which will result in an error.
7. so it marks '/' as 'nonexisting', future lookups will not consider
this path.
8. while /B.so *does* exist, failure to look it up in the '/'
directory leads to a 'cannot open shared object file' error.
This patch fixes the bug by preventing 'buflen', an index to put '\0',
from being set to 0, so that the root '/' is always kept.
Relative search paths are always considered as 'existing' so this
wont be affected.
