binfmt_misc: split out entry_open_interpreter() and build_interp_argv()

Browse source

Opening the interpreter is a property of the matched entry: an 'F' entry
hands out a clone of the file it pre-opened at registration time, any
other entry opens the selected path. Give that its own helper instead of
an if/else in the middle of load_misc_binary(), and let it fail early
rather than carrying an ERR_PTR through the successful branch.

Building the interpreter's argument vector is the bulk of what remains
and the one part of load_misc_binary() that is specific to the classic
dispatch. Move it into its own helper too, so the dispatch reads as what
it is: pick a handler, pick an interpreter, build the invocation, open
it.

No functional change.
