Process personality is stored together with other flags like UNAME26 in
an integer variable. Overwriting this value with PER_LINUX drops all
other existing flags and as such broke tools like the uname26 tool.
Actually this was only broken on 32bit kernels, since for 32bit-ELF
binaries on 64-bit kernels the SET_PERSONALITY macro from
arch/parisc/kernel/binfmt_elf32.c is used which does not modifies the
personality value at all (which is wrong as long as we don't run HPUX
binaries or similiar).

Currently all architectures but microblaze unconditionally define
USE_ELF_CORE_DUMP. The microblaze omission seems like an error to me, so
let's kill this ifdef and make sure we are the same everywhere.

elf.h probably won't be exported to userspace, but play it safe
and cram it in a #ifdef __KERNEL__ guard.
