ELF32 problem in mips64 kernel

["Kip Walker" <kwalker@broadcom.com>]

There is a faulty check in include/asm-mips64/elf.h:

in elf_check_arch, the following access to the "e_flags" field is
non-sensical if the binary is ELFCLASS32, because "__h" is typed as an
elf64_hdr (through the elfhdr #define), whose e_flags is in a different
location from an elf32_hdr.

        if ((__h->e_ident[EI_CLASS] == ELFCLASS32) &&     \
            ((__h->e_flags & EF_MIPS_ABI2) == 0))         \
                __res = 0;                                \

Should the n32 check (is this what the EF_MIPS_ABI2 check is about?) be
punted to another binary format handler?  The attached patch removed the
ABI2 check.
