exec: load_script: kill the onstack interp[BINPRM_BUF_SIZE] array
Patch series "exec: binfmt_misc: fix use-after-free, kill iname[BINPRM_BUF_SIZE]". It looks like this code was always wrong, then commit 948b701a607f ("binfmt_misc: add persistent opened binary handler for containers") added more problems. This patch (of 6): load_script() can simply use i_name instead, it points into bprm->buf[] and nobody can change this memory until we call prepare_binprm(). The only complication is that we need to also change the signature of bprm_change_interp() but this change looks good too. While at it, do whitespace/style cleanups. NOTE: the real motivation for this change is that people want to increase BINPRM_BUF_SIZE, we need to change load_misc_binary() too but this looks more complicated because afaics it is very buggy.
