staging: lustre: obd: use proper flags for call_usermodehelper
When a parameter is permanently changed on the MGS the
MGS send a changelog packet to the proper nodes that
are affected by the change. Once the nodes receive the
change they then call the userland utility lctl to
change its local value. When calling a userland
application from the kernel you specify a flag to
control the interaction with the application. Originally
by default the flag was set to 0 which is UMH_NO_WAIT
which meant lctl was being called asynchronously. In
older kernels this was fine since UHM_NO_WAIT and
UHM_WAIT_PROC had nearly the same logic. This changed
with newer kernels which broke updating our parameters.
Plus doing a UHM_NO_WAIT doesn't report back a error
if something goes wrong with lctl. The fix is to set
the flag to UHM_WAIT_PROC so kernel space waits until
lctl has finished and we get a proper error code if
something does go wrong with lctl.
