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.
reproduce:
modprobe binfmt_misc
modprobe -r binfmt_misc
modprobe binfmt_misc
modprobe -r binfmt_misc
modprobe binfmt_misc
