Use list_head in binfmt handling
Switch single-linked binfmt formats list to usual list_head's. This leads to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt(). The downside is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt. This is not a problem, since the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small -- (ELF + something distro enabled for you). Test-booted, played with executable .txt files, modprobe/rmmod binfmt_misc.
