Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Current implementation of binfmt_misc/wslinterop allows one distro to break binfmt registrations on other distros. See discussion here

Describe the solution you'd like
Track https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211028103114.2849140-2-brauner@kernel.org/ and setup all binfmt registrations in their own namespace.
