[PATCH 1/2] usermodehelper: don't use CLONE_VFORK for ____call_usermodehelper()

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>]

After the previous fix CLONE_VFORK in __call_usermodehelper() buys
nothing, we rely on on umh_complete() in ____call_usermodehelper()
anyway.

Remove it. This also eliminates the unnecessary sleep/wakeup in the
likely case, and this allows the next change.

While at it, kill the "int wait" locals in ____call_usermodehelper()
and __call_usermodehelper(), they can safely use sub_info->wait.
