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]
