Series [1/7] binfmt: Move install_exec_creds after setup_new_exec to match binfmt_elf | expand

Commit Message

Eric W. Biederman May 5, 2020, 7:41 p.m. UTC
With install_exec_creds updated to follow immediately after
setup_new_exec, the failure of unshare_sighand is the only
code path where exec_update_mutex is held but not explicitly
unlocked.

Update that code path to explicitly unlock exec_update_mutex.

Remove the unlocking of exec_update_mutex from free_bprm.
