Subject: [PATCH 2/3] binfmt_elf: Get the total_size only for dynamic loader in load_elf_binary()

In commit:

  eab09532d4 ("binfmt_elf: use ELF_ET_DYN_BASE only for PIE")

... PIE programs are loaded offset from ELF_ET_DYN_BASE, and its map
has been set as MAP_FIXED. Only dynamic loader will be mapped from
below mm->mmap_base (E.g "./ld.so someprog"), and need take account
of the need to allocate sufficient space for the entire loader image
to avoid the case that the first PT_LOAD segment is mapped below
mm->mmap_base, the subsequent PT_LOAD segment(s) end up being mapped
above mm->mmap_base into the area that is supposed to be the "gap"
between the stack and mm->mmap_base.

Whether it's harmless or not, we should not allow program to map above
mm->mmap_base. So here change to get the total_size only for dynamic
loader in load_elf_binary().
