Subject: [2.6 patch] make BINFMT_FLAT a bool

I have not yet seen anyone saying he has a reasonable use case for using 
BINFMT_FLAT modular on his embedded device.

Considering that fs/binfmt_flat.c even lacks a MODULE_LICENSE() I really 
doubt there is any, and this patch therefore makes BINFMT_FLAT a bool.
