This reverts commit c02e3f361c7 ("kmod: fix race in usermodehelper code")
The patch is wrong. UMH_WAIT_EXEC is called with VFORK what ensures
that the child finishes prior returing back to the parent. No race.
In fact, the patch makes it even worse because it does the thing it
claims not do:
- It calls ->complete() on UMH_WAIT_EXEC
- the complete() callback may de-allocated subinfo as seen in the
following call chain:
[<c009f904>] (__link_path_walk+0x20/0xeb4) from [<c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94)
[<c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94) from [<c00a0a34>] (do_path_lookup+0x24/0x4c)
[<c00a0a34>] (do_path_lookup+0x24/0x4c) from [<c00a158c>] (do_filp_open+0xa4/0x83c)
[<c00a158c>] (do_filp_open+0xa4/0x83c) from [<c009ba90>] (open_exec+0x24/0xe0)
[<c009ba90>] (open_exec+0x24/0xe0) from [<c009bfa8>] (do_execve+0x7c/0x2e4)
[<c009bfa8>] (do_execve+0x7c/0x2e4) from [<c0026a80>] (kernel_execve+0x34/0x80)
[<c0026a80>] (kernel_execve+0x34/0x80) from [<c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148)
[<c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148) from [<c0024858>] (kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8)
and the path pointer was NULL. Good that ARM's kernel_execve()
doesn't check the pointer for NULL or else I wouldn't notice it.
The only race there might be is with UMH_NO_WAIT but it is too late for
me to investigate it now. UMH_WAIT_PROC could probably also use VFORK
and we could save one exec. So the only race I see is with UMH_NO_WAIT
and recent scheduler changes where the child does not always run first
might have trigger here something but as I said, it is late....

We're not forcing removal of the old cpu_ functions, but we might as
well delete the now-unused ones.
Especially CPUMASK_ALLOC and friends. I actually got a phone call (!)
from a hacker who thought I had introduced them as the new cpumask
API. He seemed bewildered that I had lost all taste.

Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask (to be a pointer).
It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer
(the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code).

Up until 1.1.83, the primitive human tribes used struct sigaction for
interrupts. The sa_mask field was overloaded to hold a pointer to the
name.
When someone created the new "struct irqaction" they carried across
the "mask" field as a kind of ancestor worship: the fact that it was
unused makes clear its spiritual significance.

CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } }
Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best,
unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL)
Which formalizes this practice. One day gcc could bite us over this
usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far).
So replace everywhere which used &CPU_MASK_ALL or CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR
with the modern "cpu_all_mask" (a real struct cpumask *), and remove
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR altogether.
