This can silently truncate i_arg or (worse) we can execute the wrong binary if buf[2:126] happens to be the valid executable path. Change load_script() to return ENOEXEC if it can't find '\n' or zero in bprm->buf. Note that '\0' can come from either prepare_binprm()->memset() or from kernel_read(), we do not care.
