Subject[PATCH net-next] umh: fix race condition
Date
kasan reported use-after-free:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in call_usermodehelper_exec_work+0x2d3/0x310 kernel/umh.c:195
Write of size 4 at addr ffff8801d9202370 by task kworker/u4:2/50
Workqueue: events_unbound call_usermodehelper_exec_work

The reason is that 'sub_info' cannot be accessed out of parent task
context, since it will be freed by the child.
Instead remember the pid in the child task.

Fixes: 449325b52b7a ("umh: introduce fork_usermode_blob() helper")
