fs/exec.c: work around icc miscompilation
The tricky problem is this check: if (i++ >= max) icc (mis)optimizes this check as: if (++i > max) The check now becomes a no-op since max is MAX_ARG_STRINGS (0x7FFFFFFF). This is "allowed" by the C standard, assuming i++ never overflows, because signed integer overflow is undefined behavior. This optimization effectively reverts the previous commit 362e6663ef23 ("exec.c, compat.c: fix count(), compat_count() bounds checking") that tries to fix the check. This patch simply moves ++ after the check.
