Oleg Nesterov 4e0621a07e exec: don't retry if request_module() fails
A separate one-liner for better documentation.

It doesn't make sense to retry if request_module() fails to exec
/sbin/modprobe, add the additional "request_module() < 0" check.

However, this logic still doesn't look exactly right:

1. It would be better to check "request_module() != 0", the user
   space modprobe process should report the correct exit code.
   But I didn't dare to add the user-visible change.

2. The whole ENOEXEC logic looks suboptimal. Suppose that we try
   to exec a "#!path-to-unsupported-binary" script. In this case
   request_module() + "retry" will be done twice: first by the
   "depth == 1" code, and then again by the "depth == 0" caller
   which doesn't make sense.

3. And note that in the case above bprm->buf was already changed
   by load_script()->prepare_binprm(), so this looks even more
   ugly.
