[PATCH v3 3/3] tomoyo: reduce mmap_sem hold for mm->exe_file

[Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net>]

The mm->exe_file is currently serialized with mmap_sem (shared) in order
to both safely (1) read the file and (2) compute the realpath by calling
tomoyo_realpath_from_path, making it an absolute overkill. Good users will,
on the other hand, make use of the more standard get_mm_exe_file(), requiring
only holding the mmap_sem to read the value, and relying on reference

Changes from v2: remove cleanups and cp initialization.
