Revert "elf: Properly compute offsets of note descriptor and next note"
This reverts commit 650444eb540f9fd85e821567a3f943b4bc41b8be. With this patch, running the GDB test case gdb.base/auxv.exp is stuck in an infinite loop, consuming memory to the point that it renders the machine unusable. I am reverting it so we can take our time to investigate while not killing all the developers' machines.
