exec: Make unlocking exec_update_mutex explict
With install_exec_creds updated to follow immediately after setup_new_exec, the failure of unshare_sighand is the only code path where exec_update_mutex is held but not explicitly unlocked. Update that code path to explicitly unlock exec_update_mutex. Remove the unlocking of exec_update_mutex from free_bprm.
