I kept confusing myself about what order things happened in, so I made
these handy notes about the call graph:

openat2(dfd, char * filename, open_how)
    do_filp_open(dfd, filename, open_flags)
        path_openat(nameidata, open_flags, flags)
            do_open(nameidata, file, open_flags) 
                may_open(path, acc_mode, open_flag)
                    inode_permission(inode, MAY_OPEN | acc_mode)
                        security_inode_permission(inode, acc_mode)
                vfs_open(path, file)
                    do_dentry_open(file, path->dentry->d_inode, open)
                        if (unlikely(f->f_flags & FMODE_EXEC && !S_ISREG(inode->i_mode))) ...
                        security_file_open(f)
                        open()

So, it looks like adding FMODE_EXEC into f_flags in do_open() is needed in
addition to injecting MAY_EXEC into acc_mode in do_open()? Hmmm
