6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christian Brauner <[email protected]>

commit db1856ea9196cf6e015d12199a34c0b9313c7bfa upstream.

Registering an entry with the MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE flag opens the
interpreter via open_exec() which denies write access to it for as
long as the entry exists. Removing the entry closes the interpreter
file via filp_close() but never restores write access, leaving the
inode's i_writecount permanently negative. Opening the interpreter
for writing keeps failing with ETXTBSY long after the entry is gone
until the inode is evicted from the inode cache.

Commit 90f601b497d7 ("binfmt_misc: restore write access before
closing files opened by open_exec()") fixed the same imbalance in the
error path of bm_register_write() but the actual removal path has
been leaking the write denial since the introduction of the flag.

Restore write access in put_binfmt_handler() before closing the
interpreter file.
