Subject: split usermodehelper setup from execution
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xxxxxxxx>
Rather than having hundreds of variations of call_usermodehelper for various
pieces of usermode state which could be set up, split the info allocation and
initialization from the actual process execution.
This means the general pattern becomes:
info = call_usermodehelper_setup(path, argv, envp); /* basic state */
call_usermodehelper_<SET EXTRA STATE>(info, stuff...); /* extra state */
call_usermodehelper_exec(info, wait); /* run process and free info */
This patch introduces wrappers for all the existing calling styles for
call_usermodehelper_*, but folds their implementations into one.
