Subject: [PATCH] fs/exec: fix use after free in execve

"file" can be already freed if bprm->file is NULL after
search_binary_handler() return. binfmt_script will do exactly that for
example. If the VM reuses the file after fput run(), this will result in
a use ater free.

So obtain d_is_su before search_binary_handler() runs.

This should explain this crash:

[25333.009554] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000185
[..]
[25333.009918] [2:             am:21861] PC is at do_execve+0x354/0x474
