I will see if I can expand more on the review that I have done.

I saw this as moving thre lines and the personality setting later in the
code, rather than moving a bunch of lines up

AKA these lines:
>> +	arch_pick_mmap_layout(me->mm, &bprm->rlim_stack);

I verified carefully that only those three lines can depend upon the
personality changes.

Your concern if anything depends on those moved lines I haven't looked
at so closely so I will go back through and do that.  I don't actually
expect anything depends upon those three lines because they should only
be changing architecture specific state.  But that is general handwaving
not actually careful review which tends to turn up suprises in exec.

Speaking of while I was looking through the lsm hooks again I just
realized that 613cc2b6f272 ("fs: exec: apply CLOEXEC before changing
dumpable task flags") only fixed half the problem.  So I am going to
take a quick detour fix that then come back to this.  As that directly
affects this code motion.
