------------------------------------------------------
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: fs/binfmt_elf.c: don't be afraid of overflow
Number of ELF program headers is 16-bit by spec, so total size comfortably
fits into "unsigned int".
Space savings: 7 bytes!
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-7 (-7)
Function old new delta
load_elf_phdrs 137 130 -7
