[PATCH 3.13 082/105] x86: Reject x32 executables if x32 ABI not supported

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>

commit 0e6d3112a4e95d55cf6dca88f298d5f4b8f29bd1 upstream.

It is currently possible to execve() an x32 executable on an x86_64
kernel that has only ia32 compat enabled. However all its syscalls
will fail, even _exit(). This usually causes it to segfault.

Change the ELF compat architecture check so that x32 executables are
rejected if we don't support the x32 ABI.
