I just had a look at glibc, and it looks like dlopen contains a big
dlopen-lock as well.

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=elf/dl-open.c;h=0e37dd74b603ba07f677f2b4cf21661de5379529;hb=23158b08a0908f381459f273a984c6fd328363cb#l541

dl_open_worker will be called only under that lock and that is where
a function named _dl_init gets called. uclibc also uses a big lock
around all dlopen activity.

It all looks like my patch is not required.
