(re)register_binfmt returns with -EBUSY

When a binary format is unregistered and re-registered, register_binfmt
fails with -EBUSY.  The reason is that unregister_binfmt does not set
fmt->next to NULL, and seeing (fmt->next != NULL), register_binfmt fails
with -EBUSY.

One can find his way around by explicitly setting fmt->next to NULL after
unregistering, but that is kind of unclean (one should better be using only
the interfaces, and not the interal members, isn't it?)

Attached one-liner can fix it.
