Doh, yes. I was sure I'd run this through kmemleak too, although
the evidence in front of me now clearly implies I didn't ...

I think this is OK -- bprm_change_interp() changes bprm->interp to point to a
newly kstrdup'ed string, but leaves brpm->filename as pathbuf. The former
then gets freed in free_bprm() (because it differs from filename == pathbuf),
and pathbuf is freed on the line afterwards.
