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