Commit 4e6e8c2b757f ("binfmt_elf: Wire up AT_HWCAP3 at AT_HWCAP4") added
support for AT_HWCAP3 and AT_HWCAP4, but it missed updating the AUX
vector size calculation in create_elf_fdpic_tables() and
AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE in include/linux/auxvec.h.
Similar to the fix for ELF_HWCAP2 in commit c6a09e342f8e
("binfmt_elf_fdpic: fix AUXV size calculation when ELF_HWCAP2 is defined"),
this omission leads to a mismatch between the reserved space and the
actual number of AUX entries, eventually triggering a kernel BUG_ON(csp != sp).
Fix this by incrementing nitems when ELF_HWCAP3 or ELF_HWCAP4 are defined
and updating AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE.

Sorry, missed fdpic here:
