[PATCH] error out on execve with no binfmts

Early calls to userspace can invoke an execve() before any binfmt handlers
are registered.  Properly return an error in this case rather than 0.
On at least one arch (x86_64) without this patch, the system will double
fault on early attempts to call_usermodehelper.
