binfmt_misc: convert the entry file to seq_file

Reading an entry file allocates a whole page and formats the status
into it with a chain of manually advanced sprintf() calls, silently
relying on MAX_REGISTER_LENGTH plus the hex-expanded magic and mask
always staying below PAGE_SIZE. Convert the read side to seq_file
which sizes its buffer as needed and gets rid of the open-coded
pointer arithmetic including the last bin2hex() user in the file.
The output is byte for byte identical.

seq_open() clears FMODE_PWRITE for historical reasons and would
silently turn pwrite() on entry files into -ESPIPE even though
bm_entry_write() accepts writes at any offset. Restore the flag in
bm_entry_open() the same way kernfs does for its seq_file backed
files so pwrite() keeps working.

The only user-visible difference is that seeking is now bound by
seq_lseek() instead of default_llseek(), i.e. SEEK_END stops working
on entry files, which nothing can sensibly use anyway.

The status file keeps its simple_read_from_buffer() as it only ever
returns one of two fixed strings.
