Subject: [PATCH v2 4/8] exec: move allow_write_access/fput to exec_binprm()

When search_binary_handler() succeeds it does allow_write_access()
and fput(), then it clears bprm->file to ensure the caller will not
do the same.

We can simply move this code to exec_binprm() which is called only
once. In fact we could move this to free_bprm() and remove the same
code in do_execve_common's error path.
