binfmt_elf: switch to new creds when switching to new mm
We used to delay switching to the new credentials until after we had mapped the executable (and possible elf interpreter). That was kind of odd to begin with, since the new executable will actually then _run_ with the new creds, but whatever. The bigger problem was that we also want to make sure that we turn off prof events and tracing before we start mapping the new executable state. So while this is a cleanup, it's also a fix for a possible information leak.
