This continues the execve anti-deadlock patch and addresses all of the (mostly) simple cases, there the new exec_update_mutex can be used instead of the cred_guard_mutex. Note: each of these patches is independent of each other, so in case one of them turns out to be controversial, that does not affect the others.
