put_binfmt_handler() closes an F-flag (MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE) entry's
interpreter file without restoring the write access that open_exec()
denied at registration. Every register/delete cycle of an F entry
leaks one i_writecount denial on the interpreter's inode, so that
inode returns -ETXTBSY to all writers until it is evicted from the
inode cache or the machine reboots.
The registration error path (add_entry failure) correctly calls
exe_file_allow_write_access() before filp_close(), but the normal
teardown path in put_binfmt_handler() was missing it.
Fix by adding exe_file_allow_write_access() before filp_close() in
put_binfmt_handler(). exe_file_allow_write_access() is NULL-safe
and skips FMODE_FSNOTIFY_HSM files, so no imbalance is possible.
