Out of view of this patch, but in the line before this code does:

  if (elf->fildes == -1)
    {
      __libelf_seterrno (ELF_E_INVALID_HANDLE);
      return -1;
    }

Below we are careful to take a lock (in __libelf_readall or explicitly
in the case of ELF_C_FDDONE, before reading or writing fildes.

So we either have to add a lock around this check too. Or maybe better
just remove this check. In the case of ELF_C_FDREAD __libelf_readall
will return NULL and so already produce an error. In the case of
ELF_C_FDDONE I would make the point that it doesn't matter, if the
fildes was already -1, then it still is. No need for error in that
case?

This looks good, __libelf_readall (elf) already does that check (after
locking).

This also looks correct.
