Syzkaller found an issue where an invalid interpreter pointer is dereferenced in load_elf_binary()->allow_write_access(). Fix this by jumping to a different label in the cleanup path. This patch applies against the latest linux-next tree. I have not tested that the patch addresses the issue, but it should, imho.
