binfmt_elf: Support segments with 0 filesz and misaligned starts

Browse Source 
Implement a helper elf_load() that wraps elf_map() and performs all
of the necessary work to ensure that when "memsz > filesz" the bytes
described by "memsz > filesz" are zeroed.

An outstanding issue is if the first segment has filesz 0, and has a
randomized location. But that is the same as today.

In this change I replaced an open coded padzero() that did not clear
all of the way to the end of the page, with padzero() that does.

I also stopped checking the return of padzero() as there is at least
one known case where testing for failure is the wrong thing to do.
It looks like binfmt_elf_fdpic may have the proper set of tests
for when error handling can be safely completed.

I found a couple of commits in the old history
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git,
that look very interesting in understanding this code.

commit 39b56d902bf3 ("[PATCH] binfmt_elf: clearing bss may fail")
commit c6e2227e4a3e ("[SPARC64]: Missing user access return value checks in fs/binfmt_elf.c and fs/compat.c")
commit 5bf3be033f50 ("v2.4.10.1 -> v2.4.10.2")

It seems pretty clear that binfmt_elf_fdpic with skipping clear_user() for
non-writable segments and otherwise calling clear_user(), aka padzero(),
and checking it's return code is the right thing to do.

I just skipped the error checking as that avoids breaking things.

And notably, it looks like Borland's Kylix died in 2005 so it might be
safe to just consider read-only segments with memsz > filesz an error.
