[PATCH v2 2/7] kernel/fork: factor out replacing the current MM exe_file

[David Hildenbrand]

Let's factor the main logic out into replace_mm_exe_file(), such that
all mm->exe_file logic is contained in kernel/fork.c.

While at it, perform some simple cleanups that are possible now that
we're simplifying the individual functions.
