exec: Don't open code get_close_on_exec

Browse source 
Al Viro pointed out that using the phrase "close_on_exec(fd,
rcu_dereference_raw(current->files->fdt))" instead of wrapping it in
rcu_read_lock(), rcu_read_unlock() is a very questionable
optimization[1].

Once wrapped with rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() that phrase
becomes equivalent the helper function get_close_on_exec so
simplify the code and make it more robust by simply using
get_close_on_exec.
