fs core fixes

Please add the following 4 commits to 2.6.27-stable and 2.6.28-stable.
However, there has been a lot of change here between 2.6.28 and 2.6.29:
in particular, fs/exec.c's unsafe_exec() grew into the more complicated
check_unsafe_exec().  So applying the original patches gives too many
rejects: at the bottom is the diffstat and the combined patch required.
