Some language tailoring. I might change the first sentence to:
Allow for the enforcement of the O_MAYEXEC openat2(2) flag.

OMAYEXEC feels like the wrong name here. Maybe something closer to the
sysctl name? CONFIG_OPEN_MAYEXEC?
And I think it's not needed to have 3 configs for this. That's a lot of
mess for a corner case option. I think I would model this after other
sysctl CONFIGs, and just call this CONFIG_OPEN_MAYEXEC_DEFAULT.
Is _disabling_ the sysctl needed? This patch gets much smaller without
the ..._STATIC bit. (And can we avoid "static", it means different
things to different people. How about invert the logic and call it
CONFIG_OPEN_MAYEXEC_SYSCTL?)

If you keep CONFIG_OPEN_MAYEXEC_SYSCTL, you could do this in namei.h:
#ifdef CONFIG_OPEN_MAYEXEC_SYSCTL
#define __sysctl_writable __read_mostly
#else
#define __sysctl_write const
#endif
Then with my proposed change to the enforce CONFIG, all of this is
reduced to simply:
int open_mayexec_enforce __sysctl_writable = CONFIG_OPEN_MAYEXEC_DEFAULT;

I don't think any of this is needed. There are no complex bit field
interactions to check for. The sysctl is min=0, max=3. The only thing
special here is checking CAP_MAC_ADMIN. I would just add
proc_dointvec_minmax_macadmin(), like we have for ..._minmax_sysadmin().

More naming nits: I think this should be called may_openexec() to match
the other may_*() functions.

Now there's no need to wrap this in ifdef.

This can just be min/max of 0/3 with a new macadmin handler.

Otherwise, yeah, the intent here looks good to me.
