Subject: kernel/sys.c: use the simpler call_usermodehelper()
Commit 7ff6764 ("usermodehelper: cleanup/fix __orderly_poweroff() &&
argv_free()") simplified __orderly_poweroff() removing the need to use
call_usermodehelper_fns().
Since we are not passing any callback, it's simpler to use
call_usermodehelper().
