Neil Horman c02e3f361c kmod: fix race in usermodehelper code ...

The user mode helper code has a race in it.  call_usermodehelper_exec()
takes an allocated subprocess_info structure, which it passes to a
workqueue, and then passes it to a kernel thread which it creates, after
which it calls complete to signal to the caller of
call_usermodehelper_exec() that it can free the subprocess_info struct.

But since we use that structure in the created thread, we can't call
complete from __call_usermodehelper(), which is where we create the kernel
thread.  We need to call complete() from within the kernel thread and then
not use subprocess_info afterward in the case of UMH_WAIT_EXEC.  Tested
successfully by me.
