The last renaming user is binfmt binary loading during exec and
legacy library loading via uselib().


So, how do we want to continue with this? Pick it up for v5.15? Have it in -next for a while and eventually pick it up for v5.16?

I think the "remove ETXTBSY completely" and "remove the sanity mapping check" thingies should be done on top.
