exec: fix set_binfmt() vs sys_delete_module() race

sys_delete_module() can set MODULE_STATE_GOING after
search_binary_handler() does try_module_get().  In this case
set_binfmt()->try_module_get() fails but since none of the callers
check the returned error, the task will run with the wrong old
->binfmt.

The proper fix should change all ->load_binary() methods, but we can
rely on fact that the caller must hold a reference to binfmt->module
and use __module_get() which never fails.
