In fs/binfmt_elf.c, load_elf_interp() calls padzero() for .bss even if the

PT_LOAD has no PROT_WRITE and no .bss.  This generates EFAULT.

Here is a small test case.  (Yes, there are other, useful PT_INTERP which
have only .text and no .data/.bss.)

	----- ptinterp.S
	_start: .globl _start
		 nop
		 int3
	-----
	$ gcc -m32 -nostartfiles -nostdlib -o ptinterp ptinterp.S
	$ gcc -m32 -Wl,--dynamic-linker=ptinterp -o hello hello.c
	$ ./hello
	Segmentation fault  # during execve() itself

	After applying the patch:
	$ ./hello
	Trace trap  # user-mode execution after execve() finishes

If the ELF headers are actually self-inconsistent, then dying is fine. 
But having no PROT_WRITE segment is perfectly normal and correct if there
is no segment with p_memsz > p_filesz (i.e.  bss).  John Reiser suggested
checking for PROT_WRITE in the bss logic.  I think it makes most sense to
simply apply the bss logic only when there is bss.

This patch looks less trivial than it is due to some reindentation.  It
just moves the "if (last_bss > elf_bss) {" test up to include the
partial-page bss logic as well as the more-pages bss logic.
