Subject: [PATCH RESEND] elf: correct note name comment

Only the NT_PRFPREG note is named "LINUX". Correct the comment
accordingly.

Fixes: 00e19ceec80b ("ELF: Add ELF program property parsing support")
Signed-off-by: Baruch Siach <baruch@...s.co.il>

Resending in hope kvack.org mail server would be willing to accept my
submission this time.

Adding LKML as a safety net.
