c/r: prctl: update prctl_set_mm_exe_file() after mm->num_exe_file_vma…

…s removal

A fix for commit b32dfe3 ("c/r: prctl: add ability to set new
mm_struct::exe_file").

After removing mm->num_exe_file_vmas kernel keeps mm->exe_file until
final mmput(), it never becomes NULL while task is alive.

We can check for other mapped files in mm instead of checking
mm->num_exe_file_vmas, and mark mm with flag MMF_EXE_FILE_CHANGED in
order to forbid second changing of mm->exe_file.
