Subject: [PATCH 6/6] exec: use force_uaccess_begin during exec and exit

Both exec and exit want to ensure that the uaccess routines actually do
access user pointers.  Use the newly added force_uaccess_begin helper
instead of an open coded set_fs for that to prepare for kernel builds
where set_fs() does not exist.
