Because sizeof(struct elf64_note) == sizeof(struct elf32_note),
attempting to use the size of the currently defined struct elf_note as
a discriminator for whether the object being loaded is 64 bit in
load_elf() fails.

Instead, take advantage of the existing glue parameter SZ, which is
defined as 32 or 64 in the respective variants of load_elf().

Fixes: 696aa04c84c6 ("elf-ops.h: Add get_elf_note_type()")
