You could factor out this portion of the access checking from open_exec()
after the do_filp_open() in open_exec() and re-use it here. I know it's
tiny helper but tying these two together might be good for
maintenance later.

Should it check for some of the flags open_exec() uses? open_exec()
passes:

	O_LARGEFILE|O_RDONLY|__FMODE_EXEC

to do_filp_open(). I think a O_RDONLY check might be good. I don't
think __FMODE_EXEC is something userspace can set so could be ignored.
O_LARGEFILE might be important though.
