Sanitize exec_permission_lite()
Use the sucker in other places in pathname resolution that check MAY_EXEC for directories; lose the _lite from name, it's equivalent of full-blown inode_permission() for its callers (albeit still lighter, since large parts of generic_permission() do not apply for pure MAY_EXEC).
