binfmt_elf: fix PIE execution with randomization disabled
The case of address space randomization being disabled in runtime through randomize_va_space sysctl is not treated properly in load_elf_binary(), resulting in SIGKILL coming at exec() time for certain PIE-linked binaries in case the randomization has been disabled at runtime prior to calling exec(). Handle the randomize_va_space == 0 case the same way as if we were not supporting .text randomization at all. Based on original patch by H.J. Lu and Josh Boyer.
