Fix regression due to "fs: move binfmt_misc sysctl to its own file"
Commit 3ba442d5331f ("fs: move binfmt_misc sysctl to its own file") did not go unnoticed, binfmt-support stopped to work on my Debian system since v5.17-rc2 (did not check with -rc1). The existance of the /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc is a precondition for attempting to mount the binfmt_misc fs, which in turn triggers the autoload of the binfmt_misc module. Without it, no module is loaded and no binfmt is available at boot. Building as built-in or manually loading the module and mounting the fs works fine, it's therefore only a matter of interaction with user-space. I could try to improve the Debian systemd configuration but I can't say anything about the other distributions. This patch restores a working system right after boot.
