umh: fix race condition
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 Call Trace: __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:77 [inline] dump_stack+0x1b9/0x294 lib/dump_stack.c:113 print_address_description+0x6c/0x20b mm/kasan/report.c:256 kasan_report_error mm/kasan/report.c:354 [inline] kasan_report.cold.7+0x242/0x2fe mm/kasan/report.c:412 __asan_report_store4_noabort+0x17/0x20 mm/kasan/report.c:437 call_usermodehelper_exec_work+0x2d3/0x310 kernel/umh.c:195 process_one_work+0xc1e/0x1b50 kernel/workqueue.c:2145 worker_thread+0x1cc/0x1440 kernel/workqueue.c:2279 kthread+0x345/0x410 kernel/kthread.c:240 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:412 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.
