[PATCH] Fix handling of ELF segments with zero filesize
mmap() returns -EINVAL if given a zero length, and thus elf_map() in binfmt_elf.c does likewise if it attempts to map a (page-aligned) ELF segment with zero filesize. Such a situation never arises with the default linker scripts, but there's nothing inherently wrong with zero-filesize (but non-zero memsize) ELF segments. Custom linker scripts can generate them, and the kernel should be able to map them; this patch makes it so.
