This commit message was initially for the first version of O_MAYEXEC,
which extended Yama. The current enforcement implementation is now
directly in the FS subsystem (as requested by Kees Cook). However, this
MAY_EXECMOUNT flag is still used by the current FS implementation and it
could still be useful for LSMs.
