exec: release the replaced file with do_close_execat()

Browse source

When the format search stages an interpreter exec_binprm() swaps it
in and releases the file it replaces. Dropping the write denial the
open took is done manually ahead of both release paths. The one path
that keeps the file silently relies on it not being called.

Let's just use do_close_execat() on the two paths that release the file
and drop the denial explicitly on the one that does not.

No functional change.
