Yes, but I was wondering about the difference in the log messages.  In
both cases the script is checked, but only without AT_EXECVE_CHECK its
"dependencies" (e.g. script interpreter) are checked.  I guess it could
be useful to differenciate those but I wanted to make sure we were on
the same page.

It makes sense. :)

And there is no need to add another is_check check in the
bprm_check_security implementation because it will not be called when
is_check is set.
