Christian Brauner 3349ef6a36 binfmt_elf_fdpic: only honour the first PT_INTERP
The program header scan handles PT_INTERP from a switch nested in the
scan loop, so its break leaves the switch and not the loop. A binary
carrying more than one PT_INTERP runs the case again and overwrites both
interpreter_name and interpreter. The previous name allocation leaks and
so does the previous interpreter reference, along with the write denial
open_exec() took on it. The denial is never released, so the file stays
unwritable for as long as the system runs.

An unprivileged caller reaches this with a crafted binary and repeats it
at will. binfmt_elf stops at the first PT_INTERP. Do the same here.

The flaw dates back to the driver's introduction in the pre-git history
tree introduced in v2.6.11 by 91808d6ebe39 ("[PATCH] FRV: Add FDPIC ELF
binary format driver").
