binfmt_elf: allow arch code to examine PT_LOPROC ... PT_HIPROC headers

MIPS is introducing new variants of its O32 ABI which differ in their
handling of floating point, in order to enable a gradual transition
towards a world where mips32 binaries can take advantage of new hardware
features only available when configured for certain FP modes. In order
to do this ELF binaries are being augmented with a new section that
indicates, amongst other things, the FP mode requirements of the binary.
The presence & location of such a section is indicated by a program
header in the PT_LOPROC ... PT_HIPROC range.

In order to allow the MIPS architecture code to examine the program
header & section in question, pass all program headers in this range
to an architecture-specific arch_elf_pt_proc function. This function
may return an error if the header is deemed invalid or unsuitable for
the system, in which case that error will be returned from
load_elf_binary and upwards through the execve syscall.

A means is required for the architecture code to make a decision once
it is known that all such headers have been seen, but before it is too
late to return from an execve syscall. For this purpose the
arch_check_elf function is added, and called once, after all PT_LOPROC
to PT_HIPROC headers have been passed to arch_elf_pt_proc but before
the code which invoked execve has been lost. This enables the
architecture code to make a decision based upon all the headers present
in an ELF binary and its interpreter, as is required to forbid
conflicting FP ABI requirements between an ELF & its interpreter.

In order to allow data to be stored throughout the calls to the above
functions, struct arch_elf_state is introduced.

Finally a variant of the SET_PERSONALITY macro is introduced which
accepts a pointer to the struct arch_elf_state, allowing it to act
based upon state observed from the architecture specific program
headers.
