Yes.

FS supporting lookup_instantiate_filp() is rare, isn't it?
Simple grep told me it is called by fuse, nfsv4, cifs, and 9p only.
In other FS, FMODE_EXEC was dropped since nameidata_to_filp() (from
open_exec() directly) doesn't pick intent.open.flags up.

Anyway, I could confirm that setting FMODE_EXEC to f_flags is intended.
Thank you for your quick responces.
