Subject: [PATCH 2/4] Remove last traces of a.out support from ELF loader.

In commit d20894a23708c2af75966534f8e4dedb46d48db2, Andi removed support
for a.out interpreters from the ELF loader, which was only ever needed
for the transition from a.out to ELF.

This removes the last traces of that support, in particular the
inclusion of <linux/a.out.h>.
