Great, this naturally duplicates filename unconditionally, and we can
kill bprm->tcomm[].

But,

Do we really need this change? If not (afaics), the patch can be
much simpler, see below...

Even if we actually need to turn bprm->filename into "struct filename"
this free_bprm()->putname() only complicates the code, unless I missed
something. The caller, do_execve(), can do putname() unconditionally and
avoid if/NULL games.

IOW, doesn't the change below (on top of your patch) obviously makes
sense or I am totally confused?

Oleg.
