[PATCH 6/6] exec: use force_uaccess_begin during exec and exit

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Fri Jul 10 2020 - 09:57:33 EST


Both exec and exit want to ensure that the uaccess routines actually do
access user pointers. Use the newly added force_uaccess_begin helper
instead of an open coded set_fs for that to prepare for kernel builds
where set_fs() does not exist.
