This function call was changed from allow_write_access() which has a NULL
check to exe_file_allow_write_access() which doesn't.  Check for NULL
before calling it.

Fixes: 871387b27c20 ("fs: don't block write during exec on pre-content watched files")

Thanks for noticing! I've opted to change exe_file_allow_write_access() to
check for NULL instead to be 1:1 replacement for allow_write_access().
Because bugs like this one are very easy to introduce.
