audit: fix exe_file access in audit_exe_compare
commit 5efc244346f9f338765da3d592f7947b0afdc4b5 upstream. Prior to the change the function would blindly deference mm, exe_file and exe_file->f_inode, each of which could have been NULL or freed. Use get_task_exe_file to safely obtain stable exe_file.
