Justin Cormack 4996ec700c Backport transparent binfmt_misc to 4.4
As we released this in the beta channel, and it is a nice feature that our users love,
backporting this to 4.4 so we don't have to revert it or conditionally behave differently.

This is upstream Linux commits

Subject: [PATCH] fs: add filp_clone_open API
I need an API that allows me to obtain a clone of the current file
pointer to pass in to an exec handler. I've labelled this as an
internal API because I can't see how it would be useful outside of the
fs subsystem. The use case will be a persistent binfmt_misc handler.
