    kern linker: Do not retry loading modules on EEXIST
    
    LINKER_LOAD_FILE() calls linker_load_dependencies() which will return
    EEXIST in case the module to be loaded has already been compiled into
    the kernel. Since the format of the module is now recognized then there
    is no need to retry loading with a different linker, otherwise the
    userland will get misleading error number ENOEXEC.
