This also shows a fundamental problem with the question. If the shell script from the question runs in a BusyBox shell, ls and grep will share the same inode !

"executable image is already in memory" would be the case regardless. Executables are mmap'd; if the same one is already running, well, it's already mapped (unless the system is under so much memory pressure as to cause parts of it to be swapped out, but that'd be a problem using /proc/self/exe too).
