SubjectRe: [3.1.6] Deadlock upon recursive call_usermodehelper_exec().

and got below output just before deadlock.

*** Calling call_usermodehelper("/sbin/hotplug")
*** Calling request_module("binfmt-0000")
So, this deadlock occurs when call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_EXEC) is called and
request_module() is also called from search_binary_handler() when processing
call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_EXEC).

This would not hanppen for normal condition, but 100% happens when the
userspace helper program is damaged.
