ffdcbe223d23461669869e85786145cce65e1e8c linux-user: Use safe_syscall for execve syscall
Wrap execve() in the safe-syscall handling. Although execve() is not
an interruptible syscall, it is a special case: if we allow a signal
to happen before we make the host$ syscall then we will 'lose' it,
because at the point of execve the process leaves QEMU's control. So
we use the safe syscall wrapper to ensure that we either take the
signal as a guest signal, or else it does not happen before the
execve completes and makes it the other program's problem.
The practical upshot is that without this SIGTERM could fail to
terminate the process.
