Subject: [PATCH 4/5] exec: Allow load_misc_binary to call prepare_binfmt unconditionally


Add a flag preserve_creds that binfmt_misc can set to prevent
credentials from being updated.  This allows binfmrt_misc to always
call prepare_binfmt.  Allowing the credential computation logic to be
consolidated.

Ref: c407c033de84 ("[PATCH] binfmt_misc: improve calculation of interpreter's credentials")
