exec: Add a per bprm->file version of per_clear 

There is a small bug in the code that recomputes parts of bprm->cred
for every bprm->file.  The code never recomputes the part of
clear_dangerous_personality_flags it is responsible for.

Which means that in practice if someone creates a sgid script
the interpreter will not be able to use any of:
	READ_IMPLIES_EXEC
	ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE
	ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT
	MMAP_PAGE_ZERO.

This accentially clearing of personality flags probably does
not matter in practice because no one has complained
but it does make the code more difficult to understand.

Further remaining bug compatible prevents the recomputation from being
removed and replaced by simply computing bprm->cred once from the
final bprm->file.

Making this change removes the last behavior difference between
computing bprm->creds from the final file and recomputing
bprm->cred several times.  Which allows this behavior change
to be justified for it's own reasons, and for any but hunts
looking into why the behavior changed to wind up here instead
of in the code that will follow that computes bprm->cred
from the final bprm->file.

This small logic bug appears to have existed since the code
started clearing dangerous personality bits.
