[2.6 patch] disallow modular BINFMT_ELF

[Adrian Bunk]

modular BINFMT_ELF gives unresolved symbols in 2.4 .

modular BINFMT_ELF gives the following unresolved symbols in 2.6:

<--  snip  -->

unknown symbol __kernel_vsyscall

Since modular BINFMT_ELF is pretty pathological I'd suggest the 
following patch:
