um: Fix waitpid() usage in helper code
If UML is executing a helper program it is using
waitpid() with the __WCLONE flag to wait for the program
as the helper is executed from a clone()'ed thread.
While using __WCLONE is perfectly fine for clone()'ed
childs it won't detect terminated childs if the helper
has issued an execve().
We have to use __WALL to wait for both clone()'ed and
regular childs to detect the termination before and
after an execve().
