elf: init pt_regs pointer later

Get "current_pt_regs" pointer right before usage.

Space savings on x86_64:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-180 (-180)
	Function                           old     new   delta
	load_elf_binary                   5806    5626    -180 !!!

Looks like the compiler doesn't know that "current_pt_regs" is stable
pointer (because it doesn't know ->stack isn't) even though it knows
that "current" is stable pointer.  So it saves it in the very beginning
and then tries to carry it through a lot of code.

Here is what happens here:

load_elf_binary()
		...
	mov	rax,QWORD PTR gs:0x14c00
	mov	r13,QWORD PTR [rax+0x18]	r13 = current->stack
	call	kmem_cache_alloc		# first kmalloc

		[980 bytes later!]

	# let's spill that sucker because we need a register
	# for "load_bias" calculations at
	#
	#	if (interpreter) {
	#		load_bias = ELF_ET_DYN_BASE;
	#		if (current->flags & PF_RANDOMIZE)
	#			load_bias += arch_mmap_rnd();
	#		elf_flags |= elf_fixed;
	#	}
	mov	QWORD PTR [rsp+0x68],r13

If this is not _the_ root cause it is still eeeeh.

After the patch things become much simpler:

	mov	rax, QWORD PTR gs:0x14c00	# current
	mov	rdx, QWORD PTR [rax+0x18]	# current->stack
	movq	[rdx+0x3fb8], 0			# fill pt_regs
		...
	call finalize_exec
