[PATCH v3] fs/binfmt_elf: Fix AT_PHDR for unusual ELF files

[Akira Kawata <akirakawata1@gmail.com>]

BugLink: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197921

As pointed out in the discussion of buglink, we cannot calculate AT_PHDR
as the sum of load_addr and exec->e_phoff. This is because exec->e_phoff
is the offset of PHDRs in the file and the address of PHDRs in the
memory may differ from it. This patch fixes the bug by calculating the
address of program headers from PT_LOADs directly.
