Currently it is necessary for the usermode helper code and the code that launches init to use set_fs so that pages coming from the kernel look like they are coming from userspace. To allow that usage of set_fs to be removed cleanly the argument copying from userspace needs to happen earlier. Move the allocation of the bprm into it's own function (alloc_bprm) and move the call of alloc_bprm before unshare_files so that bprm can ultimately be allocated, the arguments can be placed on the new stack, and then the bprm can be passed into the core of exec. Neither the allocation of struct binprm nor the unsharing depend upon each other so swapping the order in which they are called is trivially safe. To keep things consistent the order of cleanup at the end of do_execve_common swapped to match the order of initialization.

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.
