[PATCH] get rid of leak in compat_execve()
Even though copy_compat_strings() doesn't cache the pages, copy_strings_kernel() and stuff indirectly called by e.g. ->load_binary() is doing that, so we need to drop the cache contents in the end. [found by WANG Cong <wangcong@zeuux.org>] Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
