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;

        if (ve_is_super(ve) || (get_exec_env() == ve)) {
+               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:

[root at kuchy ~]# cat /proc/6064/stack
[<ffffffff810a86f9>] __call_usermodehelper_exec+0x179/0x1a0
[<ffffffff810a8eae>] call_usermodehelper_by+0x5e/0xa0
[<ffffffff810a901c>] call_usermodehelper_fns_ve+0xec/0x170
[<ffffffff8128600c>] do_coredump+0x4dc/0xaf0
[<ffffffff810a1cc5>] get_signal_to_deliver+0x1c5/0x5e0
[<ffffffff8102a387>] do_signal+0x57/0x6b0
[<ffffffff8102aa3f>] do_notify_resume+0x5f/0xb0
[<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.
