so at the moment we consider linux_binprm->file as trusted and
always != NULL for lsm/iter and few other trampoline hooks

if that changes for some reason and linux_binprm->file will be NULL
for some reason, we might be notified just by crash first, so it
makes sense to me to have that check also in upstream
