call_usermodehelper: simplify/fix UMH_NO_WAIT case
__call_usermodehelper(UMH_NO_WAIT) has 2 problems: - if kernel_thread() fails, call_usermodehelper_freeinfo() is not called. - for unknown reason UMH_NO_WAIT has UMH_WAIT_PROC logic, we spawn yet another thread which waits until the user mode application exits. Change the UMH_NO_WAIT code to use ____call_usermodehelper() instead of wait_for_helper(), and do call_usermodehelper_freeinfo() unconditionally. We can rely on CLONE_VFORK, do_fork(CLONE_VFORK) until the child exits or execs. With or without this patch UMH_NO_WAIT does not report the error if kernel_thread() fails, this is correct since the caller doesn't wait for result.
