Subject: [GIT PULL] execve updates for v6.8-rc1

Hi Linus,

Please pull these execve updates for v6.8-rc1. A fast-fail check has
been added to dramatically speed up execve-based PATH searches, and has
been in -next for the entire development window. A minor conflict with
netdev exists due to neighboring MAINTAINERS entries:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-next/20231218161704.05c25766@canb.auug.org.au/

Thanks!

-Kees
