umh: add exit routine for UMH process
A UMH process which is created by the fork_usermode_blob() such as bpfilter needs to release members of the umh_info when process is terminated. But the do_exit() does not release members of the umh_info. hence module which uses UMH needs own code to detect whether UMH process is terminated or not. But this implementation needs extra code for checking the status of UMH process. it eventually makes the code more complex. The new PF_UMH flag is added and it is used to identify UMH processes. The exit_umh() does not release members of the umh_info. Hence umh_info->cleanup callback should release both members of the umh_info and the private data. Suggested-by: David S.
