use modfind

kldfind() only matches kernel modules, so if you link imgact_binmisc directly
into the kernel, binmiscctl can't find it, tries to load it, and errors out
with:

  Can't load imgact_binmisc kernel module: File exists

A quick search of other base commands shows that the correct procedure is to
call modfind(), and then try kldload() if that fails.
