compat_do_execve should unshare_files
2.6.26's commit fd8328b "sanitize handling of shared descriptor tables in failing execve()" moved the unshare_files() from flush_old_exec() and several binfmts to the head of do_execve(); but forgot to make the same change to compat_do_execve(), leaving a CLONE_FILES files_struct shared across exec from a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel. It's arguable whether the files_struct really ought to be unshared across exec; but 2.6.1 made that so to stop the loading binary's fd leaking into other threads, and a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel ought to behave in the same way as 32 on 32 and 64 on 64.
