Still can't understand the logic behind this function and its usage.
IOW, what ->previous_binfmts[] actually means? previous_binfmts[1]
could be a caller or the previous fmt which was called at the same
depth.

this doesn't look safe too, kfree(interp) can be called twice.

and once again, we should not lose -ELOOP as an error code if the
next fmt returns ENOEXEC.

But the main problem (in my opinion) is that this doesn't worth the
trouble, sorry.
