[PATCH] fix double mmdrop() on exec path
If load_elf_binary() (and the other binary handlers) fail after flush_old_exec() (for example, in setup_arg_pages()) then do_execve() will go through and do mmdrop(bprm.mm). But bprm.mm is now current->mm. We've just freed the current process's mm. The kernel dies in a most ghastly manner. Fix that up by nulling out bprm.mm in flush_old_exec(), at the point where we consumed the mm. Handle the null pointer in the do_execve() error path. Also: don't open-code free_arg_pages() in do_execve(): call it instead.
