powerpc: ppc32 needs elf_read_implies_exec()
On ppc64 we implemented elf_read_implies_exec() for 32-bit binaries because old toolchains had bugs where they didn't mark program segments executable that needed to be. For some reason we didn't do this on ppc32 builds. This hadn't been an issue until commit 8d30c14c ("powerpc/mm: Rework I$/D$ coherency (v3)"), which had as a side effect that we are now enforcing execute permissions to some extent on 32-bit 4xx and Book E processors. This fixes it by defining elf_read_implies_exec on 32-bit to turn on the read-implies-exec behaviour on programs that are sufficiently old that they don't have a PT_GNU_STACK program header.
