Subject: [PATCH 4/5] exec: binfmt_misc: fix race between load_misc_binary()
 and kill_node()

load_misc_binary() makes a local copy of fmt->interpreter under entries_lock
to avoid the race with kill_node() but this is not enough; the whole Node
can be freed after we drop entries_lock, not only the ->interpreter string.

Add dget/dput(fmt->dentry) to ensure bm_evict_inode() can't destroy/free
this Node.
