WARN and BUG should not be reachable from userspace, so if this can be
tripped we should take a closer look and likely fix it...

This is a double-check I left in place, since it shouldn't have been reachable:

        /*
         * may_open() has already checked for this, so it should be
         * impossible to trip now. But we need to be extra cautious
         * and check again at the very end too.
         */
        err = -EACCES;
        if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!S_ISREG(file_inode(file)->i_mode) ||
                         path_noexec(&file->f_path)))
                goto exit;

So yes, let's figure this out...
