binfmt_misc.c: avoid potential kernel stack overflow
This can be triggered with root help only, but...
Register the ":text:E::txt::/root/cat.txt:' rule in binfmt_misc (by root) and
try launching the cat.txt file (by anyone) :) The result is - the endless
recursion in the load_misc_binary -> open_exec -> load_misc_binary chain and
stack overflow.
There's a similar problem with binfmt_script, and there's a sh_bang memner on
linux_binprm structure to handle this, but simply raising this in binfmt_misc
may break some setups when the interpreter of some misc binaries is a script.
So the proposal is to turn sh_bang into a bit, add a new one (the misc_bang)
and raise it in load_misc_binary. After this, even if we set up the misc ->
script -> misc loop for binfmts one of them will step on its own bang and
exit.
