Subject: umh: fix refcount underflow in fork_usermode_blob().

Since free_bprm(bprm) always calls allow_write_access(bprm->file) and
fput(bprm->file) if bprm->file is set to non-NULL, __do_execve_file()
must call deny_write_access(file) and get_file(file) if called from
do_execve_file() path. Otherwise, use-after-free access can happen at
fput(file) in fork_usermode_blob().
