binfmt_misc: fix possible deadlock in bm_register_write

There is a deadlock in bm_register_write:

First, in the begining of the function, a lock is taken on the binfmt_misc
root inode with inode_lock(d_inode(root)).

Then, if the user used the MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE flag, the function will call
open_exec on the user-provided interpreter.

open_exec will call a path lookup, and if the path lookup process includes
the root of binfmt_misc, it will try to take a shared lock on its inode
again, but it is already locked, and the code will get stuck in a deadlock

To reproduce the bug:
$ echo ":iiiii:E::ii::/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/bla:F" > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register

backtrace of where the lock occurs (#5):

To solve the issue, the open_exec call is moved to before the write
lock is taken by bm_register_write
