The glibc man page for dl_iterate_phdr states:
The first object visited by callback is the main program.   For  the  main  program,  the
dlpi_name field will be an empty string.

This is relied upon by the LLVM ASAN runtime:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/72ec2f76396fe5de5397bfb898993fdb22e2b0da/compiler-rt/lib/asan/asan_linux.cpp#L135

Without this patch, running a binary that has been instrumented with
ASAN fails with:
==4156919==ASan runtime does not come first in initial library list; you should either link runtime to your application or manually preload it with LD_PRELOAD.

Use a constant empty string instead of the DSO name field for the first
entry in the DSO list.
