prevent unloads

pam_fprintd uses dbus-glib which registers global state that can not be unregistered.  We probably shouldn't allow the pam module to get unloaded, since after it gets unloaded that state is invalid.

Don't every allow pam module to get unloaded
The PAM module uses dbus-glib, static gobject types, etc, so it really can't get unloaded. This commit adds some linker-fu to keep it resident even after the pam module closes.
