[PATCH 4/7] exec: Move bprm_mm_init into alloc_bprm

[Eric W. Biederman]

Currently it is necessary for the usermode helper code and the code that
launches init to use set_fs so that pages coming from the kernel look like
they are coming from userspace.

To allow that usage of set_fs to be removed cleanly the argument copying
from userspace needs to happen earlier.  Move the allocation and
initialization of bprm->mm into alloc_bprm so that the bprm->mm is
available early to store the new user stack into.  This is a prerequisite
for copying argv and envp into the new user stack early before ther rest of
exec.

To keep the things consistent the cleanup of bprm->mm is moved into
free_bprm.  So that bprm->mm will be cleaned up whenever bprm->mm is
allocated and free_bprm are called.

Moving bprm_mm_init earlier is safe as it does not depend on any files,
current->in_execve, current->fs->in_exec, bprm->unsafe, or the if the file
table is shared. (AKA bprm_mm_init does not depend on any of the code that
happens between alloc_bprm and where it was previously called.)

This moves bprm->mm cleanup after current->fs->in_exec is set to 0.  This
is safe because current->fs->in_exec is only used to preventy taking an
additional reference on the fs_struct.

This moves bprm->mm cleanup after current->in_execve is set to 0.  This is
safe because current->in_execve is only used by the lsms (apparmor and
tomoyou) and always for LSM specific functions, never for anything to do
with the mm.

This adds bprm->mm cleanup into the successful return path.  This is safe
because being on the successful return path implies that begin_new_exec
succeeded and set brpm->mm to NULL.  As bprm->mm is NULL bprm cleanup I am
moving into free_bprm will do nothing.
