[PATCH 1/2 v2] fs/binfmt_elf: Use PT_LOAD p_align values for suitable start address.

[Chris Kennelly <ckennelly@google.com>]

The current ELF loading mechancism provides page-aligned mappings.  This
can lead to the program being loaded in a way unsuitable for
file-backed, transparent huge pages when handling PIE executables.

For binaries built with increased alignment, this limits the number of
bits usable for ASLR, but provides some randomization over using fixed
load addresses/non-PIE binaries.

Tested: verified program with -Wl,-z,max-page-size=0x200000 loading
