    The error hanling and ret-from-loop look confusing and inconsistent.
    
    - "retval >= 0" simply returns
    
    - "!bprm->file" returns too but with read_unlock() because
       binfmt_lock was already re-acquired
    
    - "retval != -ENOEXEC || bprm->mm == NULL" does "break" and
      relies on the same check after the main loop
    
    Consolidate these checks into a single if/return statement.
    
    need_retry still checks "retval == -ENOEXEC", but this and -ENOENT before
    the main loop are not needed.  This is only for pathological and
    impossible list_empty(&formats) case.
    
    It is not clear why do we check "bprm->mm == NULL", probably this
    should be removed.
