[PATCH RFC 3/4] fs/binfmt_elf: Tell user-space about the DENY_WRITE_EXEC personality flag

[Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>]

Since personality() accepts any flags and does not mask out any unknown
bits, inform user space that such personality flag is supported via an
AT_FLAGS_DENY_WRITE_EXEC flag.
