6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx> commit bfab35f552ab3dd6d017165bf9de1d1d20f198cc upstream. The section header flags for alignment are documented in the PE/COFF spec as being applicable to PE object files only, not to PE executables such as the Linux bzImage, so let's drop them from the PE header.
