    binfmt_flat: Fix corruption when not offsetting data start
    
    [ Upstream commit 3eb3cd5992f7a0c37edc8d05b4c38c98758d8671 ]
    
    Commit 04d82a6d0881 ("binfmt_flat: allow not offsetting data start")
    introduced a RISC-V specific variant of the FLAT format which does
    not allocate any space for the (obsolete) array of shared library
    pointers. However, it did not disable the code which initializes the
    array, resulting in the corruption of sizeof(long) bytes before the DATA
    segment, generally the end of the TEXT segment.
    
    Introduce MAX_SHARED_LIBS_UPDATE which depends on the state of
    CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_NO_DATA_START_OFFSET to guard the initialization of
    the shared library pointer region so that it will only be initialized
    if space is reserved for it.
