Mathias Krause dac853ae89 exec: delay address limit change until point of no return 
Unconditionally changing the address limit to USER_DS and not restoring
it to its old value in the error path is wrong because it prevents us
using kernel memory on repeated calls to this function.  This, in fact,
breaks the fallback of hard coded paths to the init program from being
ever successful if the first candidate fails to load.

With this patch applied switching to USER_DS is delayed until the point
of no return is reached which makes it possible to have a multi-arch
rootfs with one arch specific init binary for each of the (hard coded)
probed paths.

Since the address limit is already set to USER_DS when start_thread()
will be invoked, this redundancy can be safely removed.
