[PATCH v2] binfmt_misc: pass info about P flag by AT_FLAGS

[YunQiang Su]

From: YunQiang Su <ysu@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently program invoked by binfmt_misc cannot be aware about whether
P flag, aka preserve path is enabled.

Some applications like qemu need to know since it has 2 use case:
  1. call by hand, like: qemu-mipsel-static test.app OPTION
     so, qemu have to assume that P option is not enabled.
  2. call by binfmt_misc. If qemu cannot know about whether P flag is
     enabled, distribution's have to set qemu without P flag, and
     binfmt_misc call qemu like:
       qemu-mipsel-static /absolute/path/to/test.app OPTION
     even test.app is not called by absoulute path, like
       ./relative/path/to/test.app

This patch passes this information by the 3rd bits of unused AT_FLAGS.
Then, in qemu, we can get this info by:
   getauxval(AT_FLAGS) & (1<<3)

v1->v2:
  not enable kdebug
