[PATCH] exec: fix no kernel module found error to be more clear

[Nir Lichtman]

Problem: Before starting the enumeration of the supported formats the
default return value is set to no entity which is misleading since if
the kernel module of the binary format is not found, it would return no
entity to user mode which is misleading since it is signaling that a
file was not found, but in this case the more suitable error is that the
executable has an unsupported format

Solution: Refactor to return no-exec error instead
