exec: cleanup the error handling in search_binary_handler()
The error hanling and ret-from-loop look confusing and inconsistent.
- "retval >= 0" simply returns
- "!bprm->file" returns too but with read_unlock() because
binfmt_lock was already re-acquired
- "retval != -ENOEXEC || bprm->mm == NULL" does "break" and
relies on the same check after the main loop
Consolidate these checks into a single if/return statement.
need_retry still checks "retval == -ENOEXEC", but this and -ENOENT before
the main loop are not needed. This is only for pathological and
impossible list_empty(&formats) case.
It is not clear why do we check "bprm->mm == NULL", probably this
should be removed.
