[PATCH v6 2/6] livepatch: Add limit of 2MB to payload .bss sections.

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>]

The initial patch: 11ff40fa7bb5fdcc69a58d0fec49c904ffca4793
"xen/xsplice: Hypervisor implementation of XEN_XSPLICE_op" caps the
size of the binary at 2MB. We follow that in capping the size
of the .BSSes to be at maximum 2MB.

v5: Initial submission. Came about from conversation about
    "livepatch: Clear .bss when payload is reverted"
   - Use only one sh_flags comparison instead of two.
   - And check for the _right_ combination (WA).
v6: Remove the logging
    Move the MB(2) to a #define in the header file.
    Add the newline after the addition in livepatch_elf.c.
    Added Reviewed-by from Ross.
