um: Fix overlapping ELF segments when statically linked
When statically linked, the .text section in UML kernels is not page aligned, causing it to share a page with the executable headers. As .text and the executable headers have different permissions, this causes the kernel to wish to map the same page twice (once as headers with r-- permissions, once as .text with r-x permissions), causing a segfault, and a nasty message printed to the host kernel's dmesg: "Uhuuh, elf segment at 0000000060000000 requested but the memory is mapped already" By aligning the .text to a page boundary (as in the dynamically linked version in dyn.lds.S), there is no such overlap, and the kernel runs correctly.
