Oleg Nesterov e2d8e7bd33 exec: fix the racy usage of fs_struct->in_exec
commit af7bb0d2ca upstream.

check_unsafe_exec() sets fs->in_exec under cred_guard_mutex, then execve()
paths clear fs->in_exec lockless. This is fine if exec succeeds, but if it
fails we have the following race:

	T1 sets fs->in_exec = 1, fails, drops cred_guard_mutex

	T2 sets fs->in_exec = 1

	T1 clears fs->in_exec

	T2 continues with fs->in_exec == 0

Change fs/exec.c to clear fs->in_exec with cred_guard_mutex held.
