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.
