There is functionality that overlaps the exec and memory mapping
subsystems. While it properly belongs in mm, it is important that exec
maintainers maintain oversight of this functionality correctly.

We can establish both goals by adding a new mm/vma_exec.c file which
contains these 'glue' functions, and have fs/exec.c import them.

As a part of this change, to ensure that proper oversight is achieved, add
the file to both the MEMORY MAPPING and EXEC & BINFMT API, ELF sections.

scripts/get_maintainer.pl can correctly handle files in multiple entries
and this neatly handles the cross-over.
