[PATCH] exec: load_script: kill the onstack interp[BINPRM_BUF_SIZE] array

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Mon Sep 18 2017 - 12:35:11 EST


load_script() can simply use i_name instead, it points into bprm->buf[]
and nobody can change this memory until we call prepare_binprm().

The only complication is that we need to also change the signature of
bprm_change_interp() but this change looks good too.

While at it, do whitespace/style cleanups.

NOTE: the real motivation for this change is that people want to increase
BINPRM_BUF_SIZE, we need to change load_misc_binary() too but this looks
more complicated because afaics it is very buggy.
