Switch single-linked binfmt formats list to usual list_head's.
This leads to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt().
The downside is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt. This is not a
problem, since the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small
(ELF + something distro enabled for you).

Test-booted, played with executable .txt files, modprobe/rmmod binfmt_misc.
