Subject: [PATCH -next] exec: remove recheck path_noexec in do_open_execat and uselib

We got issue as follows:
may_open [pid=1900]: path=file0 mode=1 exec=0
path_mount [pid = 1901]: mnt_flags=0x64 sb_flags=0x1 flags=0x4029 name=/
do_open_execat [pid=1900]: file=./file0 mode = 8828 exec=1 mnt_flags=1064 s_iflags=0, path=file0

The above issue is caused by remount the file system as noexec concurrently.
As commit 0fd338b2d2cd move path_noexec to may_open, and add recheck at end.
This kind of repeated check is unnecessary, because it also occurs in some
scenarios. Even if we guarantee the order of the file opening and remounting
process, there will still be binaries executing under the noexec file system.
The current process can at least ensure that binary files cannot be executed
after the file system is remounted into noexec. So it is safe to delete this
check
