exec: Remove the recomputation of bprm->cred
Recomputing the uids, gids, capabilities, and related flags each time a
new bprm->file is set is error prone and unnecessary.
This set of changes splits per_clear temporarily into two separate
variables. This is the last change necessary to ensure that
everything that is computed from brpm->file in bprm->cred is
recomputed every time a new bprm->file is set. Then the code is
refactored to compute bprm->cred from bprm->file when the final
brpm->file is known, removing the need for recomputation entirely.
Doing this in two steps should allow anyone who has problems later to
bisect and tell if it was the semantic change or the refactoring that
caused them problems.
