[PATCH resend] binfmt_em86: load_em86: Remove unused i_arg variable and constify i_name

[Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i_arg is not used at all therefore remove it. This also prevents
a warning with gcc 5.2 when -Wincompatible-pointer-types is enabled:

fs/binfmt_em86.c:73:35: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘copy_strings_kernel’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
   retval = copy_strings_kernel(1, &i_arg, bprm);


The second error would come from i_name which is defined as char pointer
without the const attribute.

fs/binfmt_em86.c:71:34: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘copy_strings_kernel’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
  retval = copy_strings_kernel(1, &i_name, bprm);


While at it, check the remove_arg_zero return value too.

fs/binfmt_em86.c:68:2: warning: ignoring return value of ‘remove_arg_zero’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
  remove_arg_zero(bprm);

I forgot to Cc the linux-alpha list and Cc also the alpha arch
maintainers... 2nd try.
