Tong Zhang e7f1e8834b binfmt_misc: fix crash when load/unload module
We should unregister the table upon module unload otherwise something
horrible will happen when we load binfmt_misc module again.  Also note
that we should keep value returned by register_sysctl_mount_point() and
release it later, otherwise it will leak.

Also, per Christian's comment, to fully restore the old behavior that
won't break userspace the check(binfmt_misc_header) should be
eliminated.

To reproduce:
  modprobe binfmt_misc
  modprobe -r binfmt_misc
  modprobe binfmt_misc
  modprobe -r binfmt_misc
  modprobe binfmt_misc

resulting in

  modprobe: can't load module binfmt_misc (kernel/fs/binfmt_misc.ko): Cannot allocate memory

and an unhappy kernel:

  binfmt_misc: Failed to create fs/binfmt_misc sysctl mount point
  binfmt_misc: Failed to create fs/binfmt_misc sysctl mount point
  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffbfff8004802
  Call Trace:
    init_misc_binfmt+0x2d/0x1000 [binfmt_misc]

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 Restructured Text 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.
