Subject: mm: fix exit_mmap BUG() on a.out binary exit
From: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The problem was introduced by commit "mm: variable length argument support"
(b6a2fea39318e43fee84fa7b0b90d68bed92d2ba) as it didn't update
fs/binfmt_aout.c like other binfmt's.
I noticed that on alpha when accidentally launched old OSF/1 Acrobat Reader
binary. Obviously, other architectures are affected as well.
