    This patch removes some duplicate cleanup code from do_execve() failure cases
    and also moves the responsibility for exec_free_args() out of the callers of
    kern_execve() and into do_execve() instead:

    Please test, especially with various ABI binaries and with MAC policies
    enabled to make sure it doesn't break anything. Thanks!
