Log:
  binmiscctl should use modfind instead of kldfind

  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.
