ms/kernel/kmod: fix use-after-free of the sub_info structure

There is a use-after-free bug on the subprocess_info structure allocated
by the user mode helper. In case do_execve() returns with an error
____call_usermodehelper() stores the error code to sub_info->retval, but
sub_info can already have been freed.
Regarding UMH_NO_WAIT, the sub_info structure can be freed by
__call_usermodehelper() before the worker thread returns from
do_execve(), allowing memory corruption when do_execve() failed after
exec_mmap() is called.
Regarding UMH_WAIT_EXEC, the call to umh_complete() allows
call_usermodehelper_exec() to continue which then frees sub_info.
To fix this race the code needs to make sure that the call to
call_usermodehelper_freeinfo() is always done after the last store to
sub_info->retval.
