How this can work? sys_wait4() can only wait for our childs, but the parent
of the dumping thread is khelper.


If we change kmod.c, then I think we need UMH_WAIT_CUSTOM_COMPLETION.


But perhaps do_coredump() can just sleep on file->...->i_pipe->wait waiting
for pipe_inode_info->readers == 0 ?

Oleg.
