use.
So far so good, but can we also drop the has_interp argument from
arch_parse_elf_properties()?

Cross-check with Yu-Cheng Yu's series, but I don't see this being used
any more (except for passthrough in binfmt_elf.c).

Since we are treating the interpreter and main executable orthogonally
to each other now, I don't think we should need a has_interp argument to
pass knowledge between the interpreter and executable handling phases
here.

Otherwise, looks reasonable.
