[PATCH v4 0/3] fs/binfmts: Improve handling of loops

[Zach Levis]

This v4 is based off Oleg's changes from "exec: more cleanups" and "exec: minor cleanups + minor fix"

It incorporates Oleg and Andrew's suggestions and takes care of the issue from Dan's patch "fs/binfmts: double unlock in search_binary_handler()"

New in v4 is how we handle resetting the linux_binprm data. The same function (init_bprm) is called for the initial do_execve_common and recovering from a loop, making sure that any data that needs to be changed is changed.

Additionally, compat_binfmt_elf gets its own name.
(btw, I'd really like to rename that file to binfmt_elf_compat to match the other binfmts, but not sure if that'd break things or go against some other naming scheme in use)
