Subject: [PATCH 3.5] c/r: prctl: less paranoid prctl_set_mm_exe_file()

"no other files mapped" requirement from my previous patch
(c/r: prctl: update prctl_set_mm_exe_file() after mm->num_exe_file_vmas removal)
is too paranoid, it forbids operation even if there mapped one shared-anon vma.

Let's check that current mm->exe_file already unmapped, in this case exe_file
symlink already outdated and its changing is reasonable.

Plus, this patch fixes exit code in case operation success.
