binfmt_misc: split the field parsing out of create_entry()

create_entry() is a two hundred line parser with the M and E field
handling inlined as the two arms of its largest branch. Move them
into parse_magic_fields() and parse_extension_fields() which return
the new parse position or NULL so create_entry() itself reads like
the register string grammar again.

The offset parsing loses a provably dead check on the way: after
*s = '\0' and p = s the subsequent if (*p++) always reads the just
written NUL byte and can never fail, it only obscured that the code
simply advances past the delimiter.

With the field parsing gone every remaining failure unwinds the same
way, so hand the entry to __free(kfree), return errors directly and
pass ownership out via no_free_ptr() on success instead of routing
every exit through goto tails.
