(re)register_binfmt returns with -EBUSY
When a binary format is unregistered and re-registered, register_binfmt fails with -EBUSY. The reason is that unregister_binfmt does not set fmt->next to NULL, and seeing (fmt->next != NULL), register_binfmt fails with -EBUSY. One can find his way around by explicitly setting fmt->next to NULL after unregistering, but that is kind of unclean (one should better be using only the interfaces, and not the interal members, isn't it?) Attached one-liner can fix it.
