[PATCH] init:enable usermodehelper as soon as we have a root filesystem

[wangyanqing]

before we have a filesystem , it is useless to enable usermodehelper,
and it may cause bug if we enable usermodehelper too early (see commit
d5767c53535ac79758084773418e0ad186aba4a2 for the reason why linus mv 
'usermodehelper_enable()' to the end of do_basic_setup, and commit 
b0f84374b6ab0dc9c47975df0b02d46165d558d4).This patch
enable usermodehelper as soon as we have a filesystem.
