    nss: Re-enable NSS module loading after chroot [BZ #27389]
    
    The glibc 2.33 release enabled /etc/nsswitch.conf reloading,
    and to prevent potential security issues like CVE-2019-14271
    the re-loading of nsswitch.conf and all mdoules was disabled
    when the root filesystem changes (see bug 27077).
    
    Unfortunately php-lpfm and openldap both require the ability
    to continue to load NSS modules after chroot. The packages
    do not exec after the chroot, and so do not cause the
    protections to be reset. The only solution is to re-enable
    only NSS module loading (not nsswitch.conf reloading) and so
    get back the previous glibc behaviour.
    
    In the future we may introduce a way to harden applications
    so they do not reload NSS modules once the root filesystem
    changes, or that only files/dns are available pre-loaded
    (or builtin).
