kernel/kcmp.c: Use new infrastructure to fix deadlocks in execve
This changes kcmp_epoll_target to use the new exec_update_mutex instead of cred_guard_mutex. This should be safe, as the credentials are only used for reading, and furthermore ->mm and ->sighand are updated on execve, but only under the new exec_update_mutex.
