[PATCH 6.6 003/117] binfmt_elf: elf_bss no longer used by load_elf_binary()

[PATCH 6.6 003/117] binfmt_elf: elf_bss no longer used by load_elf_binary()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

[ Upstream commit 8ed2ef21ff564cf4a25c098ace510ee6513c9836 ]

With the BSS handled generically via the new filesz/memsz mismatch
handling logic in elf_load(), elf_bss no longer needs to be tracked.
Drop the variable.
