We include elf.h twice in module.c. It's unnecessary.
hence just remove them.

elf.h is not _directly_ included twice in module.c, although it is
included by other header files that module.c pulls in. I'd rather keep
things as-is, since we shouldn't depend on other header files to pull
in the headers we want. I think it's better to keep the explicit
dependence/inclusion of elf.h in module.c.

Thanks,

Jessica
