Zilin Guan e785f552ab binfmt_misc: restore write access before closing files opened by open_exec()
[ Upstream commit 90f601b497 ]

bm_register_write() opens an executable file using open_exec(), which
internally calls do_open_execat() and denies write access on the file to
avoid modification while it is being executed.

However, when an error occurs, bm_register_write() closes the file using
filp_close() directly. This does not restore the write permission, which
may cause subsequent write operations on the same file to fail.

Fix this by calling exe_file_allow_write_access() before filp_close() to
restore the write permission properly.
