[PATCH 05/14] arm64: setup: report ELF_PLATFORM as the machine for utsname

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon at arm.com>

uname -m reports the machine field from the current utsname, which should
reflect the endianness of the system.

This patch reports ELF_PLATFORM for the field, so that everything appears
consistent from userspace.
