binfmt_flat: revert "binfmt_flat: don't offset the data start"
commit 2217b982 upstream. binfmt_flat loader uses the gap between text and data to store data segment pointers for the libraries. Even in the absence of shared libraries it stores at least one pointer to the executable's own data segment. Text and data can go back to back in the flat binary image and without offsetting data segment last few instructions in the text segment may get corrupted by the data segment pointer. Fix it by reverting commit a2357223 ("binfmt_flat: don't offset the data start").
