note: resending due to missed devel list in CC
Race can be reproduced with steps below:
1) Add these test patch to increase the race probability:

khelper = ve_is_super(ve) ? &khelper_worker : &ve->ve_umh_worker;

+ while(ve->is_running)
+ cond_resched();
err = call_usermodehelper_by(khelper, path, argv, envp, wait, init,
cleanup, data);
goto out_put;
2) Set corepattern to type pipe in CT:
echo "|/bin/dd of=/vz/coredumps/core-%e-%t.%p" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
3) Produce a segfault inside a container and next try to stop the
container killing init.
Coredump creates "dd" work and ads it to ve_umh_worker, which is already
stopped and will never handle these work, and our work will hang
forever, and container will never stop:

[<ffffffff816df6ec>] retint_signal+0x48/0x8c
[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff
Fix these by putting is_running check and usermodhelper queueing in one
op_sem lock critical section. It works as we already have these lock
taken in ve_stop_ns.
commit a08505af8c51 ("ve/kthread: khelper kthread in a container
introduced") says that we can't hold lock when waiting for userspace so
drop the lock when waiting.
