mboot.c: prefer ELF header over multiboot headersyslinux-3.73-pre6

If a loaded kernel is in ELF format and contains a multiboot header indicating
valid relocation information, prefer the informations from the ELF header.
This is in violation of the Multiboot spec, but it's the way GRUB does
things and Solaris kernels rely on this behaviour.
