exec: remove legacy custom binfmt modules autoloading

Problem: The search binary handler logic contains legacy code
to handle automatically loading kernel modules of unsupported
binary formats.
This logic is a leftover from a.out-to-ELF transition.
After removal of a.out support, this code has no use anymore.

Solution: Clean up this code from the search binary handler,
also remove the line initialising retval to -ENOENT and instead
just return -ENOEXEC if the flow has reached the end of the func.

Note: Anyone who might find future uses for this legacy code
would be better off using binfmt_misc to trigger whatever
module loading they might need - would be more flexible that way.
