BINFMT: fill_elf_header cleanup - use straight memset first
This patch does simplify fill_elf_header function by setting
to zero the whole elf header first. So we fillup the fields
we really need only.
before:
text data bss dec hex filename
11735 80 0 11815 2e27 fs/binfmt_elf.o
after:
text data bss dec hex filename
11710 80 0 11790 2e0e fs/binfmt_elf.o
viola, 25 bytes of text is freed
