proc: Use new infrastructure to fix deadlocks in execve
This changes lock_trace to use the new exec_update_mutex instead of cred_guard_mutex. This fixes possible deadlocks when the trace is accessing /proc/$pid/stack for instance. This should be safe, as the credentials are only used for reading, and task->mm is updated on execve under the new exec_update_mutex.
