exec: Compute file based creds only once

Browse Source 
Move the computation of creds from prepare_binfmt into begin_new_exec
so that the creds need only be computed once.  This is just code
reorganization no semantic changes of any kind are made.

Moving the computation is safe.  I have looked through the kernel and
verified none of the binfmts look at bprm->cred directly, and that
there are no helpers that look at bprm->cred indirectly.  Which means
that it is not a problem to compute the bprm->cred later in the
execution flow as it is not used until it becomes current->cred.

A new function bprm_creds_from_file is added to contain the work that
needs to be done.  bprm_creds_from_file first computes which file
bprm->executable or most likely bprm->file that the bprm->creds
will be computed from.

The funciton bprm_fill_uid is updated to receive the file instead of
accessing bprm->file.  The now unnecessary work needed to reset the
bprm->cred->euid, and bprm->cred->egid is removed from brpm_fill_uid.
A small comment to document that bprm_fill_uid now only deals with the
work to handle suid and sgid files.  The default case is already
heandled by prepare_exec_creds.

The function security_bprm_repopulate_creds is renamed
security_bprm_creds_from_file and now is explicitly passed the file
from which to compute the creds.  The documentation of the
bprm_creds_from_file security hook is updated to explain when the hook
is called and what it needs to do.  The file is passed from
cap_bprm_creds_from_file into get_file_caps so that the caps are
computed for the appropriate file.  The now unnecessary work in
cap_bprm_creds_from_file to reset the ambient capabilites has been
removed.  A small comment to document that the work of
cap_bprm_creds_from_file is to read capabilities from the files
secureity attribute and derive capabilities from the fact the
user had uid 0 has been added.
