To ensure that load_misc_binary() can't use the partially destroyed
Node, see also the next patch.
The current logic looks wrong in any case, once we close interp_file it
doesn't make any sense to delay kfree(inode->i_private), this Node is no
longer valid. Even if the MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE/interp_file checks were
not racy (they are), load_misc_binary() should not try to reopen
->interpreter if MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE is set but ->interp_file is NULL.
And I can't understand why do we use filp_close(), not fput().
