[PATCH 3/4] exec: Relocate path_noexec() check

[Kees Cook]

The path_noexec() check, like the regular file check, was happening too
late, letting LSMs see impossible execve()s. Check it earlier as well
and collect the redundant fs/exec.c path_noexec() test under the same
robustness comment as the S_ISREG() check.

My notes on the call path, and related arguments, checks, etc:

do_open_execat()
    struct open_flags open_exec_flags = {
        .open_flag = O_LARGEFILE | O_RDONLY | __FMODE_EXEC, ...
    do_filp_open(dfd, filename, open_flags)
        path_openat(nameidata, open_flags, flags)
            /* f_mode populated from open_flags in alloc_empty_file() */
            file = alloc_empty_file(open_flags, current_cred());
            do_open(nameidata, file, open_flags)
                /* new location of FMODE_EXEC vs path_noexec() test */
                may_open(path, acc_mode, open_flag)
                    inode_permission(inode, MAY_OPEN | acc_mode)
                        security_inode_permission(inode, acc_mode)
                vfs_open(path, file)
                    do_dentry_open(file, path->dentry->d_inode, open)
                        security_file_open(f)
                        open()
    /* old location of path_noexec() test */
