The stub execution uses the somewhat new close_range and execveat
syscalls. Of these two, the execveat call is essential, but the
close_range call is more about stub process hygiene rather than safety
(and its result is ignored).
Replace both calls with a raw syscall as older machines might not have a
recent enough kernel for close_range (with CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC) or a
libc that does not yet expose both of the syscalls.
Fixes: 32e8eaf263 ("um: use execveat to create userspace MMs")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
