execve: open the executable file before doing anything else

No point in allocating a new mm, counting arguments and environment
variables etc if we're just going to return ENOENT.

This patch does expose the fact that 'do_filp_open()' that execve() uses
is still unnecessarily expensive in the failure case, because it
allocates the 'struct file *' early, even if the path lookup (which is
heavily optimized) fails.

So that remains an unnecessary cost in the "no such executable" case,
but it's a separate issue.  Regardless, I do not want to do _both_ a
filename_lookup() and a later do_filp_open() like the origin patch by
Josh Triplett did in [1].
