binfmt: Move install_exec_creds after setup_new_exec to match binfmt_elf

[ Upstream commit a6ed697e132e94715ac57e427bf97a73109c776a ]

In 2016 Linus moved install_exec_creds immediately after
setup_new_exec, in binfmt_elf as a cleanup and as part of closing a
potential information leak.

Perform the same cleanup for the other binary formats.

Different binary formats doing the same things the same way makes exec
easier to reason about and easier to maintain.

> I tested the the whole series on non-MMU m68k and non-MMU arm
> (exercising binfmt_flat) and it all tested out with no problems,
> so for the binfmt_flat changes:
