Otherwise we mark it "under exec". Unless I missed something again, check_unsafe_exec() should check "under exec" after it takes fs->lock. If set - we are racing with sub-thread, return -EAGAIN. We can't proceed. If that another exec() fails, it will clear "under exec" at the end of do_execve(), before we kill other threads.
