The file interpreter is allocated in load_elf_binary, but not freed
in the case interp_elf_ex is NULL.
We add a new mark out_free_file for this case to free interpreter.
This memory leak is catched when kmemleak is enabled in kernel,
the report looks like below:
unreferenced object 0xffff8b6e9fd41400 (size 488):
comm "service", pid 4095, jiffies 4300970844 (age 49.618s)
