Add more comments to dlclose() algorithm.
The algorithm for scanning dependencies upon dlclose is less than immediately obvious. This patch adds two bits of comments that explain why you start the dependency search at l_initfini[1], and why you need to restart the search. --- 2013-05-09 Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> * elf/dl-close.c (_dl_close_worker): Add comments.
