[ Upstream commit e7f7785449a1f459a4a3ca92f82f56fb054dd2b9 ]
In 2016 Linus moved install_exec_creds immediately after
setup_new_exec, in binfmt_elf as a cleanup and as part of closing a
potential information leak.
Perform the same cleanup for the other binary formats.
Different binary formats doing the same things the same way makes exec
easier to reason about and easier to maintain.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
