[PATCH 01/02] x86: Useless inode var, printks and coding style fixes

From: Geyslan G. Bem
Date: Wed Sep 18 2013 - 17:29:34 EST


file size read only one time: useless prior value allocation.
It's not necessary to verify f_op in the load_aout_library, since the
prior kernel_read/vfs_read function already does.
Coding style fixes and printk replacements.

Tested using qemu, a handcrafted a.out binary and a a.out linked with a
cross-compiled ld.
