6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Kees Cook keescook@chromium.org
[ Upstream commit 8ed2ef21ff564cf4a25c098ace510ee6513c9836 ]
With the BSS handled generically via the new filesz/memsz mismatch handling logic in elf_load(), elf_bss no longer needs to be tracked. Drop the variable.
