[PATCH] binfmt_flat: don't check for EMFILE
Bernd Schmidt points out that binfmt_flat is now leaving the exec file open
while the application runs. This offsets all the application's fd numbers.
We should have closed the file within exec(), not at exit()-time.
But there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing all this just to avoid
going over RLIMIT_NOFILE by one fd for a few microseconds. So take the EMFILE
checking out again. This will cause binfmt_flat to again fail LTP's
exec-should-return-EMFILE-when-fdtable-is-full test. That test appears to be
wrong anyway - Open Group specs say nothing about exec() returning EMFILE.
