Instead of having the core code guess the note name for each regset,
use USER_REGSET_NOTE_TYPE() to pick the correct name from elf.h.

Seems to work according to the test in the cover letter. Since it's part
of a larger series and this patch doesn't build by itself, I'll assume
you want to take them all together through some other tree, so:

Thanks!
Assuming nobody screams about things going wrong in next, I'll plan to
water down the paranoid check in binfmt_elf.c:fill_thread_core_info().
Anyone copy-pasting a new arch after this is in mainline shouldn't fall
foul of this.
