Andreas Kling 5d06ab6531 Kernel: Fix file description leak in sys$execve()
Before this patch, we were leaking a ref on the open file description
used for the interpreter (the dynamic loader) in sys$execve().

This surfaced when adapting the syscall to use TRY(), since we were now
correctly transferring ownership of the interpreter to Process::exec()
and no longer holding on to a local copy of it (in `elf_result`).

Fixing the leak uncovered another problem. The interpreter description
would now get destroyed when returning from do_exec(), which led to a
kernel panic when attempting to acquire a mutex.

This happens because we're in a particularly delicate state when
returning from do_exec(). Everything is primed for the upcoming context
switch into the new executable image, and trying to block the thread
at this point will panic the kernel.

We fix this by destroying the interpreter description earlier in
do_exec(), at the point where we no longer need it.
