[PATCH] alpha: binfmt_aout fix

[Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>]

This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef412 (get rid of
special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary
segfaults when binfmt_aout built as module. That happens because
aout binary handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late
registration, and kernel attempts to execute the binary without
preparatory work that must be done by binfmt_loader.

Fixed by changing the registration order of the default
binfmt handlers using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt()
function which places new handler on the top of the binfmt list.
This might be generally useful for installing arch-specific frontends
for default handlers or just for overriding them.
